Extension
I am a Professor of Agricultural Entomology with a 50% extension, 25% research,
and 25% administrative appointment. My primary extension responsibilities include
advising producers throughout Illinois of potential economic insect infestations
to field and forage crops and offering effective management recommendations.
I am a regular contributor of articles for the Pest Management and Crop Development
Bulletin (http://www.ag.uiuc.edu/cespubs/pest/).
As Interim Assistant Dean, I provide leadership for Extension programs in the
Agriculture and Natural Resources arenas.

Joshua Heeren is conducting research on the interaction of soybean aphid and
soybean cyst nematode as related to soybean growth and yield.
Teaching
On nine different occasions, I have co-taught Fundamentals of Insect Pest
Management, CpSc 479, with other faculty members. This course is offered
through the Off-Campus Graduate Studies Program and is designed to enable students
who are working full-time to complete a graduate degree. I also have taught Management
of Field Crop Insects, CpSc 473 twice on campus. I have served as advisor
or co-advisor for several graduate students including: Matthew E. O’Neal
(M.S., May 1998), Silvia Ivette Rondon (Ph.D., May 2002), Erica Carlson (M.S.,
summer 2003), Christopher Pierce (Ph.D., December 2003), Randall Wright (M.S.,
December 2003), Jared Schroeder (M.S., May 2005), Darren Bakken (M.S., May 2006),
and Joshua Heeren (M.S., May 2008).

Numerous western corn rootworm adults in sweep net sample from soybean field
in east central Illinois.
My primary research thrust is aimed at improving the management of the western
corn rootworm, Diabrotica virgifera virgifera LeConte, arguably the
most important insect pest of corn in the United States. Since the mid-1990s,
my students and I have focused our research on improving our understanding of
the ecology of a variant of the western corn rootworm. The long term ovipositional
fidelity to cornfields has been broken by this variant and egg laying now occurs
in the soil of several crops, most notably soybeans. Consequently, the cultural
practice of crop rotation no longer serves as an effective management tactic
for this species in many areas of the eastern Corn Belt of the United States.
The use of soil insecticides and transgenic Bt corn hybrids is now common place
on rotated and non-rotated corn acres where the variant western corn rootworm
has become established. In addition to our ecological investigations, my colleagues
and I evaluate the root protection afforded by different transgenic corn rootworm
Bt hybrids, soil insecticides, and seed treatments each year at multiple locations
throughout Illinois. In the early 1990s, the western corn rootworm began to infest
cornfields in several European countries. Collaboration with entomologists in
Europe has increased considerably during the past decade regarding the biology,
ecology, and management of western corn rootworms.

European and U.S. entomologists collaborating on western corn rootworm research, Nice, France, 2007.
In 2008, I began serving as a Program Leader within the Energy and Biosciences
Institute (EBI). The objective of this specific EBI Program is to evaluate the
potential for pests to reduce the biomass of perennial grasses such as switchgrass
and Miscanthus.
