Dr. Wise is the Research and Extension Coordinator of the MSU Trevor Nichols Research Complex (TNRC). His mission with this MAES research station is to develop effective pest management strategies in cooperation with MSU researchers and serve as a source of extension information for Michigan fruit industry’s pest management decision-makers. Wise’s primary research interest is to further understand the unique activity characteristics and performance boundaries of new insecticide chemistries on Michigan fruit insect pests. Wise also serves as a Field Research Director in the national IR-4 residue program, which is the primary avenue by which new reduced-risk pesticides are registered with the EPA for minor-use crops. In addition, Wise is currently developing a pest-scout training program to be run out of the newly established “Angus J. Howitt IPM Training Room” at the TNRC.
