 OPM Lab Circa 2009 The Michigan State University Organic Pest Management Laboratory is run by Dr. Matt Grieshop and conducts research, teaching and extension in a variety of Michigan and Great Lakes agricultural commodities. Our overall goal is to provide economically viable pest management tactics for organic farming systems designed through a better understanding of agroecosystem dynamics, pest natural history, and behavior. We are particularly interested in pest management systems where off farm inputs are minimized and pest management services are derived from system components that provide multiple benefits (e.g. pollination services, nutrient management, additional salable products). Although directly affiliated with the Department of Entomology, the OPM lab conducts collaborative research with labs in the MSU departments of Plant Pathology, Horticulture, Crop and Soil Science, and Animal Science. This website is organized in blog format to allow the posting of dynamic content and visitor comments. Please use the categories bar at the top of the page to navigate to a particular area of interest or simply use the search box in the upper right hand of the page. Here are the final! lecture notes for the class. We will go over biological control on Tuesday and have a short review session. Chemical Pest Management lecture notes and visual aides. Physical and Cultural lecture Notesand visual aides. Biological lecture Notes and visual aides. Here is a pdf of the lab handout. Here is a copy of the excel worksheet including the data we collected yesterday. Please follow the directions in the worksheet and handout when writing your report. Some pictures taken during the lab:
Here are the lecture notes and visuals for pest comparative biology. Here are the lecture notes and visuals for pest ecology. IPM 1 (Sampling, Phenology) lecture notes and visual aides. IPM 2 (Thresholds) lecture notes and visual aides. Here is the lab handout and the data worksheet for crunching the numbers. The master data sheet can be downloaded here. We also talked a little bit about hypothesis testing. Here is the hypothesis lecture. Please note that this lecture consists of selected slides accessed from: http://education.uncc.edu/rglamber/Hypothesis%20Testing.ppt Also please remember the lab write up is due on the 20th of October. Here are my notes and visual aides on insect morphology and physiology. Here are Chris Adams lecture notes on insect taxonomy. Here are Dr. Annemiek Schilder’s lecture notes on plant diseases and plant disease management. Here is Erin Haramoto’s lecture notes on weed science. |
