Entomology Seminar Series
The Department of Entomology sponsors a seminar series covering a wide range of topics and speakers. Seminars are normally held on Mondays of the spring and fall semesters. We typically enjoy some social time with light snacks from 3:40 until 4 pm, when the seminar begins. Please come and join us!
In addition to maintaining a high caliber of speakers, each year the department recognizes alumni and other scientists for their contributions to the science of entomology via the Distinguished Alumnus Award and the Theodore L. Hopkins Distinguished Colloquium Award. The students of the Popenoe Entomology Club also select the Popenoe Speaker each year and sponsor his or her visit to the department.

Controlling insects and other arthropods has become an increasingly complex issue over the last two decades. Minimizing losses due to pests of insects and insects vectors of important plant, animal and human diseases remains an essential component of the programs of the Office of Agricultural Entomology. However, the deleterious effects associated with the use of chemicals, such as the development of insect resistance to insecticides, poisonous residues in food, human diseases associated with pesticide applications, contamination should be reduced or eliminated. of soil and water and the decrease of biotic diversity. As a result, much emphasis has been placed on tactics other than chemical controls, including biological, cultural and genetic methods and the deployment of pest-resistant varieties. A reevaluation of the economic thresholds of insect pests and vectors and the concurrent development of models capable of generating management strategies are a direct result of the need to reduce our dependence on chemical controls. The concept of Integrated Pest Management (IPM), introduced in the late 1950s and most widely practiced during the 1970s and 1980s, remains the viable and preferable approach to reducing the constraints caused by pests. In addition, the MPI is currently the model on which the concept of sustainable agriculture can be structured.
The Office of Agricultural Entomology is responsible for developing environmentally sound and economically sound methods of integrated pest management in Illinois. Comprised of research scientists, extension specialists and support staff, the office is funded through the College of Agriculture and History Survey Natural of Illinois. These two institutions collaborate through the Office of Agricultural Entomology to solve problems related to the art of Illinois citizens.
