Diana Obregon Corredor

In her role with the New York State Integrated Pest Management Program, Diana assesses the effects of key chemical, biological and physical stressors on terrestrial organisms in agricultural and urban systems, with an emphasis on pollinators, beneficial arthropods and native plants. Her work is used to develop and improve best management practices to reduce risks associated with pest management. Diana also oversees efforts to revamp NYSIPM’s Environmental Impact Quotient (EIQ) including revising the current model, maintaining the pesticide database and expanding it to generate and include efficacy data and other risk parameters particularly for those products currently registered in New York. Her work is being conducted in collaboration with NYSIPM, Cornell University faculty and the state agencies.
