The Entomology Department is globally recognized for excellence in IPM as evidenced by the high degree of international participation in our graduate and post-graduate training programs. Regionally, we are the host institution for the North Central US Pest Management Center, and within the state we have an outstanding reputation for delivering applied research and Extension programs to our diverse clientele. The department is in the top three for number of joint programs with Extension educators. Major programs address apiculture, Christmas trees, field crops, floriculture, forestry, fruit, greenhouse, medical, nursery, turf, and vegetables. All programs have close interaction with the A.J. Cook Arthropod Research Collection, Diagnostic Services, and the MSU IPM Program.
