Biography

Lucile Marescot serves as a research scientist at CBGP-CIRAD of Montpellier since February. Her primary project objective is to introduce innovative methodologies for managing the grasshopper Oedaleus senegalensis in Senegal. Given the tendency of grasshoppers to form large swarms and migrate over long distances, proposed interventions need to encompass village and landscape-level approaches, not solely focusing on the farm level. Under the guidance of Cyril Piou from Cirad and Arianne Cease from Arizona State University, she aims to develop a model adaptable for regional leaders. This model aims to facilitate informed decisions on directing soil amendment interventions to suppress swarming grasshopper populations and mitigate crop damage.
