Research in the Vegetable Entomology Lab explores how insects and other arthropods interact with vegetable crops and how those relationships can be managed to support healthy, sustainable production. Our work includes studying pollination, the role of beneficial insects, insect behavior, and the interactions of plant diseases with insect pests.
