ENV 206 - AGRICULTURAL ENTOMOLOGY

Institution:

Kutztown University of Pennsylvania

Subject:

Environmental Science

Description:

It is difficult to overstate the impact that insects and related arthropods have on human agroecosystems. They are important recyclers of organic material in soils, required pollinators for hundreds of food crops, and are essential allies in managing agricultural pests. In their role as pests and vectors of plant diseases, insects are our greatest competitors for food; destroying a large proportion of our post-harvest stores and reaping untold pre-harvest damage to nearly all plant parts in every plant-based food system in the world. This course is fill introduction to beneficial and pestiferous insects and their management in the context of agriculture arid is supported by the application of applied entomology in 6 semesters of Regenerative Field Lab (ENV 200) for majors in the Environmental Science Regenerative Agriculture track. Students in other majors may take the course as a brief, stand-alone introduction to the concepts of agricultural entomology.
