Transcript of Extension Entomology
Objectives• Provide training opportunities for county agents that
will allow them to respond to entomological and pest management topics in their counties
• Develop creative high quality educational programs and materials that address the needs of Kentuckians
• Use innovative and traditional techniques to deliver the information
• Use well-designed applied research to provide answers to pest management
• To maintain high quality programs that stimulate interest in science and entomology among Kentucky youth
Doug JohnsonPrinceton
• Soybean, small grains, stored grain • Insect identification – w Ky• State IPM Coordinator
Lee Townsend
• Alfalfa & forages, livestock, tobacco, turf & ornamentals
• Insect identification e and central Ky• State pesticide safety education coordinator
Bed bugs
• Management strategies – insecticides and non-chemical control (heat)
• Insecticide resistance in bed bugs• Differing sensitivities to bites among
individuals
Forages
• Sporadic black legume aphid infestations
• Greenbug – orchardgrass winter mortality
• Blister beetle – horse hay
Pesticide Safety Education
• Private applicators – illegal uses of pesticides
• Commercial applicators – continuing education programs by self study
• Furadan-baited wildlife “control”
Small grains
• Aphids – barley yellow dwarf in wheat – insect control, aphid trapping
• Hessian fly management – fly free planting dates, insecticide treated seed for management, HF biotypes present in Ky
Soybean
• Impact of planting date and maturity group on soybean aphid
• $ return from insecticide applications
• Root mealybug
