Dr. Adalla teaches courses in basic entomology and crop protection and serves as guest lecturer in graduate and undergraduate courses in Plant Breeding. She also serves as adviser of undergraduate and graduate students in economic entomology, insect pest management and host plant resistance. She has conducted researches in IPM and HPR and Gender Issues in Agriculture and served in various college, university and national technical committees. It was during her term as CA dean when the actual reorganization of the College was implemented after nine years of discussion and planning initiated by her predecessors.
