The Entomology
Research Laboratory represents a team of scientists
committed to the development of effective biological control agents for
forest, greenhouse and vegetable insect pest management. Insect pest
problems are addressed with an interdisciplinary approach, using insights
drawn from six senior scientists, the assistance of six technicians, and
several graduate students. Emphasis is placed on practical aspects of
research to solve ‘real world’ problems. Though focused on
agricultural problems of Vermont,
our projects have national and international significance as well.
Through our work we attempt to develop management options that are
environmentally sound, economically viable and sustainable, and encourage
their implementation through extension and education.
