Dr. Robinson's research interests are in the field of Pest and Pesticide Management. He has conducted studies on pesticide contamination in the Jamaican environment, with emphasis on pesticide residue transport and levels in ground and surface water systems. In addition, he has investigated the management of crop pests (e.g. citrus root weevil and the coffee berry borer) using such methods as nematodes, companion crops and botanical formulations. Dr. Robinson is currently conducting research on West Indian Sea Island Cotton, organic agriculture and the biological activity of extracts from selected Jamaican plant species.
