| Program Summary | Research focuses on the management of key pests of field crops, primarily corn and soybeans. This is accomplished by field evaluation of new and emerging pest management technologies, coupled with the development of studies of insect behavior in agronomic systems. Our focus on behavioral research helps us to identify areas where existing pest management strategies could either be improved upon or replaced altogether with novel strategies. Examples of current research areas include: Assess the impact of transgenic (eg. Bt corn) crops upon the mating and migration behaviors of pests such as the western corn rootworm |

| Research Assistantship | The Field Crops Entomology program, under the supervision of Dr. Christian Krupke, is currently seeking applications for research assistantships. The ideal candidate will have an interest in insect behavior and/or ecology as they relate to IPM systems. Current areas of study within Dr. Krupke's lab include: corn rootworm mating behavior, resistance management strategies for transgenic crops, soybean aphid threshold validation, and refinement of sampling procedures for variant corn rootworm. Contact Dr. Krupke for more information about possible projects. |
