Description: I place a strong emphasis on having my students gain an appreciation of the entomological principles of insect identification, biology, and insect ecology as related to agricultural and turfgrass systems. Additional topics of discussion include genetically-engineered crops, resistance management, and IPM. My section of AT 0434 has been available online since 1997. My course web site contains over 50 web pages of lecture notes and related handouts in addition to approximately 250 slides and other visual aids. The laboratory handouts and insect identification keys were revised and added to the course web site in 2003.
