Fifty Years of the Integrated Control Concept: Moving the Model and Implementation Forward in Arizona
Monday, September 21st at 4:10pm, in E-164 Lagomarcino Hall
Peter Ellsworth, Department of Entomology, University of Arizona & Arizona Pest Management Center, Maricopa, AZ
Abstract: Is IPM dead? "IPM", 50 years after the publication of its core concepts by Stern et al. (Hilgardia, 1959), remains today a hotly debated paradigm for sustainable pest management. This presentation will review the Integrated Control Concept and provide detail on a rare working example in practice in the Arizona cotton system. Stern, Smith, van den Bosch and Hagan (1959) Hilgardia, is available online here.

Vankyrin Genes of the Campoletis sonorensis Ichnovirus: Differential Expression Patterns and Evidence for Divergent Protein Functions within a Polydnavirus Multi-gene Family
Monday, November 2nd at 4:10pm, in E-164 Lagomarcino Hall
Jeremy Kroemer, USDA, ARS, Ames, IA
Abstract: Polydnaviruses (PDVs) occur in obligate symbiotic associations with many endoparasitic ichneumonid (IVs) and braconid (BVs) wasps often valued as biological control agents of lepidopteran agricultural pests. PDVs are injected during parasitization of lepidopteran hosts, and viral gene products disrupt host immunity and development to enable endoparasitoid survival.
