Program:

Ours is an educational program designed to transfer information and technology from research and other sources to the field agents, growers and agricultural consultants. Primary program area is in cotton entomology. Primary area has been in association with current and future issues that impact cotton production. These area have been boll weevil eradication, insect control in conservation tillage systems, early-season tarnished plant bug management, insecticide resistance monitoring and management, and utilizing COTMAN for Louisiana cotton.

During the last five years, I have given an average of 50 - 60 presentations in cotton entomology and certifications for which I am responsible. Other teaching methods (average number per year) used include newsletters (8), demonstration plots (54), news articles (7), electronic updates of current situation (31), and fax messages on current situation (14).

Future Plans:

These plans include--
