Extension

I am a Professor of Agricultural Entomology with a 25% extension, 25% research, and 50% administrative appointment. My primary extension responsibilities include advising producers throughout Illinois of potential economic insect infestations to field and forage crops and offering effective management recommendations. I am a regular contributor of articles for the Pest Management and Crop Development Bulletin (http://www.ag.uiuc.edu/cespubs/pest/). As Interim Assistant Dean, I provide leadership for Extension programs in the Agriculture and Natural Resources arenas.

Teaching

On nine different occasions, I have co-taught Fundamentals of Insect Pest Management, CpSc 479, with other faculty members. This course is offered through the Off-Campus Graduate Studies Program and is designed to enable students who are working full-time to complete a graduate degree. I also have taught Management of Field Crop Insects, CpSc 473 twice on campus. I have served as advisor or co-advisor for several graduate students including: Matthew E. O’Neal (M.S., May 1998), Silvia Ivette Rondon (Ph.D., May 2002), Erica Carlson (M.S., summer 2003), Christopher Pierce (Ph.D., December 2003), Randall Wright (M.S., December 2003), Jared Schroeder (M.S., May 2005), Darren Bakken (M.S., May 2006), and Joshua Heeren (M.S., May 2008).

Research

My primary research thrust is aimed at improving the management of the western corn rootworm, Diabrotica virgifera virgifera LeConte, arguably the most important insect pest of corn in the United States. Since the mid-1990s, my students and I have focused our research on improving our understanding of the ecology of a variant of the western corn rootworm. The long term ovipositional fidelity to cornfields has been broken by this variant and egg laying now occurs in the soil of several crops, most notably soybeans. Consequently, the cultural practice of crop rotation no longer serves as an effective management tactic for this species in many areas of the eastern Corn Belt of the United States. The use of soil insecticides and transgenic Bt corn hybrids is now common place on rotated and non-rotated corn acres where the variant western corn rootworm has become established.

In addition to our ecological investigations, my colleagues and I evaluate the root protection afforded by different transgenic corn rootworm Bt hybrids, soil insecticides, and seed treatments each year at multiple locations throughout Illinois. In the early 1990s, the western corn rootworm began to infest cornfields in several European countries. Collaboration with entomologists in Europe has increased considerably during the past decade regarding the biology, ecology, and management of western corn rootworms.

In 2008, I began serving as a Program Leader within the Energy and Biosciences Institute (EBI). The objective of this specific EBI Program is to evaluate the potential for pests to reduce the biomass of perennial grasses such as switchgrass and Miscanthus.
