Current BioControl Research Activities:
Integrated Pest Management, especially in cotton
Integrated whitefly management in cotton: - Life table analyses (in situ) in managed and unmanaged cotton and
other crop and non-crop systems (with S. Naranjo)
- Optimization of chemical controls including insect growth regulators
- Low temperature dynamics and overwintering ecology (with Naranjo)
Integrated Lygus management in cotton:
- Community-wide detection and sampling of Lygus (with Husman, Langston)
- Geographical Information Systems development for large-scale Lygus
management in Arizona cotton (with Carriere, Husman, Langston, Antilla)
- Optimization of chemical controls including sampling and thresholds
Integrated pink bollworm management in cotton:
- Evaluation of Bollgard II technology
- Isogenic comparisons of Bollgard, Bollgard II, other novel Bt
events, and conventional cottons (with Moser & Marchosky)
- Impact of Bt transgenic cottons on non-target organisms & arthropod
communities (with Marchosky)
Integrated crop & cross-commodity management, and development of
internet-based education (with J. Jones, Palumbo, Clay, Umeda, Giclas); see
