Home W elcome to the Cornell University Department of Entomology in Ithaca, NY. I n 1874 John Henry Comstock founded our Department of Entomology, the first department of its kind in the U.S.A. Comstock assembled a group of fine scholars including Bradley, Forbes, Johannsen, Matheson, Needham, and Slingerland. Their influence is still evident in the Department's Comstock Memorial Library, which is among America's foremost collections of entomological literature, and in the Department's insect collection, which houses approximately six million specimens including many designated as types. C W e currently have 19 faculty, two active emeriti, three joint appointees and 12 adjunct professors. The major research areas within the Department are morphology and systematics, pest management (especially of forage, greenhouse, vegetable and livestock insects), biological control, ecology, evolutionary biology and behavior, sociobiology, medical and veterinary entomology, pathology, apiculture, toxicology and physiology. T he Department's teaching program offers training for undergraduate and graduate students. Our Field of Entomology has 31 graduate students, and it consistently ranks as one of the strongest graduate programs in the U.S.A. Undergraduate majors number approximately 20.

87. Commodity And Pest Management Profiles To help USDA and EPA obtain this type of information, Crop Profiles are being This site is part of the effort by the USDA pest management Centers to http://www.ipmcenters.org/cropprofiles/

USDA Crop Profiles FQPA instructs USDA and EPA to obtain pesticide use and usage data on the major and minor crops. Of particular importance at this time are use and usage data for the organophosphates, carbamates, and possible carcinogens. These classes of pesticides have been identified as top priority at EPA for the tolerance reassessment process. These same pesticides are also vital in the production of many of our crops. Because some of these uses may be cancelled, it is important to identify where we stand now, where we need to be in the future, and what research efforts are needed to get us there. In order to better understand where future research efforts should lead, it is necessary first to identify areas of critical need (i.e., those crops that have few if any alternative control measures available). To help USDA and EPA obtain this type of information, "Crop Profiles" are being developed. It is the intent that profiles provide the complete production story for a commodity and a look at current research activities directed at finding replacement strategies for the pesticides of concern. Crop Profiles include typical use information (not simply what pesticide labels state) and have a common format for ease of use. This site is part of the effort by the USDA Pest Management Centers to provide information critical to pest management needs in the United States.

Regulatory Actions Integrated Pest Management (IPM) and Food Production Quick Resources General IPM Information IPM in Schools Household IPM What is IPM? ... For more information What is IPM? Integrated Pest Management (IPM) is an effective and environmentally sensitive approach to pest management that relies on a combination of common-sense practices. IPM programs use current, comprehensive information on the life cycles of pests and their interaction with the environment. This information, in combination with available pest control methods, is used to manage pest damage by the most economical means, and with the least possible hazard to people, property, and the environment. The IPM approach can be applied to both agricultural and non-agricultural settings, such as the home, garden, and workplace. IPM takes advantage of all appropriate pest management options including, but not limited to, the judicious use of pesticides. In contrast, organic food production applies many of the same concepts as IPM but limits the use of pesticides to those that are produced from natural sources, as opposed to synthetic chemicals.

Today, pesticides are used on the vast majority of U.S. cropland. According to agricultural chemical usage statistics from USDA, herbicides were applied to 98% of corn acreage and 96% of soybean acreage in 2001.

Florida squash growers produce primarily summer squashes (Cucurbita pepo), such as crookneck squash, straightneck squash, scallop squash, and zucchini squash. Growers also produce some winter squashes (4), such as acorn (C. pepo), butternut squash (C. moschata), and spaghetti squash (C. pepo). There is some commercial production of calabaza or Cuban squash (Cucurbita moschata) in South Florida, and Floridians produce a variety of tropical squashes and related cucurbits [such as pumpkin (Cucurbita spp.), chayote (Sechium edule), banana squash (Cucurbita maxima), and gourds (Lagenaria spp. and Luffa spp.)] in home gardens, but this profile includes only summer and winter squashes (12,13,14,15,16). Cash receipts for squash produced in Florida in 1999-2000, which totaled $45.9 million, accounted for approximately 20 percent of the total U.S. cash receipts for squash production (2,8).

Florida produces 3-6 percent of the U.S. commercially grown supply and more than 35 percent of the winter/early spring crop. Approximately 960,000,000 pounds of potatoes valued in excess of $126.2 million were produced during the 1995-96 crop year on 46,800 acres. Average potato yield in 1996 was 21,700 pounds per acre (2). Average production costs vary widely, dependent on production region and whether the crop is produced for potato chips or fresh table stock. Production costs for table potatoes in south Florida are estimated to be $3,244 per acre, while production costs for table potatoes in northern Florida are estimated to be $2,381 per acre. Chip potatoes, produced almost exclusively in northern Florida, have estimated production costs of $1,776 per acre (3). St. Johns county is the state leader in potato production acreage at approximately 21,000 acres (1,2).

Key text Published by Australian Academy of Science Sponsored by Twenty-five years ago cotton cultivation was abandoned in Western Australia's Ord River valley because of an uncontrollable infestation of two native caterpillars. Now researchers are trialling an integrated pest management strategy that could allow cotton to be grown there again. Printer-friendly version of complete topic Just as there is more than one way to skin a cat, fry an egg or eat an ice-cream, there are many ways to beat agricultural pests. Combining different pest control strategies is the basis of integrated pest management ( Box 1 In part, the development of integrated pest management (IPM) is a response to the failure of many chemical pesticides to provide long-term solutions to pest problems. While some pesticides have dramatic effects when first applied, many pests develop resistance Pest resistance in the Ord When large plantations of cotton were established in Western Australia's Ord River valley in the 1960s, the caterpillars (larvae) of two species of heliothis moth moved in. These destructive pests were controlled initially by pesticides, but, pretty soon, they started developing resistance. Farmers kept increasing the dosage, but they were fighting a losing battle. Eventually, as landholders went broke, switched to other crops or simply abandoned their properties, the industry collapsed. Now, 25 years later, researchers are trialling an integrated pest management strategy to see if commercial cotton can again be grown in the Ord River valley. Many elements of the strategy were first developed in the Namoi Valley in New South Wales, another cotton-growing area. The strategy includes:

1. Pest control techniques Published by Australian Academy of Science Sponsored by Printer-friendly version of complete topic Integrated pest management involves the integrated use of four basic control techniques. Physical controls Physical controls are those that can be carried out by the farmer to alter environmental factors in a way that reduces pest populations. A simple and common example of this is crop rotation , which is the practice of planting different crops each year in a given paddock. This interrupts the normal life cycle of some pests by changing their environment to one in which their favourite host plant does not feature. It is a strategy that has been used successfully for years by Australian gardeners against tomato nematodes. Another physical control method sometimes called 'mating disruption' involves the use of sex pheromones Biological control pathogens . By introducing or encouraging such enemies, the population of pest organisms should decline. It is not a new concept. The ancient Chinese encouraged ants in citrus orchards because they attacked many citrus pests. There are three general approaches to biological pest control. The first of these is
