About Rickie van Staden:
I am an Entomologist with a passion for science and insects. I am working as a Senior Laboratory Specialist on insecticide resistance of Potato tuber moth in South Africa at the North-West University. I have experience in rearing insect species (Potato tuber moth, Fall armyworm, Tomato leaf miner, Whiteflies, Cutworms and False armyworm). I also have experience in insecticide resistance testing methods.
I am a driven, goal-orientated and hardworking individual, who has a broad-based knowledge in the study fields; crop
protection, entomology, zoology, tourism (including business management and marketing) and botany. I believe it is
important to gain a broad knowledge and develop critical thinking skills to be successful and solve problems to
enhance my future career. My main fields of interest are crop protection, crop production research and entomology.
