Support the Department of Entomology
The Department of Entomology in the Institute of Agriculture and Natural Resources at the University of Nebraska-Lincoln has a mission to "enrich the UNL campus by strengthening research, teaching and extension/outreach programs to best meet the needs of Nebraska, and to be known regionally, nationally and internationally for entomology expertise." Because of the climatic and agricultural diversity across the state, extensive efforts are expended on developing improved management thresholds and providing new information on new pest species, insecticide resistance, new management tools, and resistance management affecting the crops produced in Nebraska.
