ENT 431. Principles of Insect Pest Management. 3 Credits.

This course focuses on integrated pest management of insects and related arthropods. The course will cover information and tactics relevant to using and developing IPM programs (e.g. pesticides, economic thresholds, biocontrol). Prereq: ENT 350. S (odd years) {Also offered for graduate credit - see ENT 631.}.

ENT 470. Insect Ecology. 3 Credits.

This course explores the importance of insects for investigating basic and applied ecological questions.
