Wilson Lab at the Kearney Agricultural Research and Extension Center

Integrated Pest Management in Orchards and Vineyards

As agricultural entomologists, our research and extension programs focus on the development, evaluation and adoption of sustainable pest management practices for tree nuts, olives, figs, stone fruits and vineyards. By leveraging our scientific understanding of insect ecology, behavior, and plant-insect interactions, our lab strives to develop strategies that reduce negative environmental impacts of tree crop production while maintaining orchard profitability.
