Lady Beetle (Ladybug) Biological Control Research Project

At Agricademy Inc., we are excited to announce an innovative project focused on utilizing lady beetles as a sustainable solution to combat agricultural pests. Led by our founder, Nadia Ruffin, MS, an experienced entomologist and researcher, this initiative seeks to provide farmers with an environmentally friendly alternative to chemical pesticides, helping to protect crops while preserving biodiversity.

With years of expertise in entomology and biological pest control, Nadia Ruffin has dedicated her career to advancing sustainable agricultural practices. Through her leadership, this project will explore the development of new methods to enhance the use of lady beetles in pest management, ensuring that farmers have access to sustainable, effective solutions that reduce reliance on chemical inputs.

We believe this project has the potential to revolutionize pest control practices, promote sustainable agriculture, and contribute to healthier ecosystems. However, to bring this vision to life, we are currently seeking funding and support.

Stay tuned for updates as we work towards advancing this exciting project. We look forward to sharing more about how our approach will make a positive, long-term impact on agriculture and the environment.
