About

Carlos Andres Antolinez Delgado is a research entomologist based at the Hudson Valley Research Laboratory in Highland, NY. His work focuses on understanding the ecology and management of insect pests affecting specialty crops, with an emphasis on apples and grapes. His research integrates vector biology, insect behavior, and pest management to develop sustainable control strategies, particularly for invasive and economically significant species. His studies aim to enhance integrated pest management programs through a combination of ecological understanding and applied approaches that support the productivity and resilience of cropping systems.

Recent Research

Andres’ work focuses on the management and control of economically important insect pests in apple and grapevine, including brown marmorated stink bug, plum curculio, spotted lanternfly, woolly apple aphid, and apple maggot. His research program emphasizes field-based evaluations of insecticide efficacy—testing both current commercial products and novel chemistries under field conditions—to identify the most effective control options for growers.
