4. Curriculum development
Extensive reviews and revisions of graduate classes are being done to ensure that students have a fundamental knowledge of insect function to underpin their understanding of insect biology and pest management. Seminar is being strengthened to emphasize communication skills.

Teaching evaluation includes peer and student reviews as well as goal setting by the departmental curriculum committee. Peer and student reviews are used by the instructor for self improvement; curriculum committee reports are used to assist in setting departmental teaching goals.

5. Accreditation / Reviews
none

6. Student recruitment / retention and other student activities
Entomology graduate students participated in the North Central Branch - Entomological Society of America Linnean Games. The Linnean games are a college bowl-like competition using insect and Entomological questions.

The Entomology graduate students promoted Entomology and entomophagy in the Celebration of Nations at Moorhead State University.

Students and faculty participated in 'Expanding Your Horizons', a program designed to encourage young women to enter careers in science.

7. Senior professors teaching freshmen
Entomology does not offer an undergraduate major but we do offer two service courses with undergraduate and freshmen enrollment. Entomology 210, Humans, Insects and the Environment, is taught by G. J. Brewer, Professor and Interim Chair. Entomology 350, General Entomology, is a modular course and was taught by Associate Professor D. A. Rider and Assistant Professor D. Olson.

8. Summer school activities
Entomology does not offer formal courses in the summer. Our research programs, including graduate student research, are largely focused on crop protection and natural systems and thus are necessarily done during the summer season.

We mentored the science projects of two middle school science teachers. See section I A 3, North Dakota Science Teachers Education Program.

B. Research / Scholarship

1. Mission of Unit
Our research mission is to benefit the constituency of North Dakota State University and to advance the science of Entomology. We provide solutions to insect problems and issues for the State of North Dakota and we further the science of insect studies.

2. Research Highlights

Small Grains

Orange wheat blossom midge and their impact on durum wheats was evaluated in field trials at the Langdon REC. Greenhouse studies found little egg deposition by female midge on durum heads when a hard red spring wheat head was offered in a choice test. However, in the field studies, no preference was shown. Durum wheats were just as likely to have larvae as hard red spring wheat. There were some durum varieties that had consistently fewer larvae present. The trials will be repeated in 1999.

Corn

Studies were initiated in 1998 to begin looking at better prediction of European corn borer moth activity in the region. With single and two generation type corn borers present in the region, a better understanding of when moth flights occur would be beneficial in planning field scouting activities. A second effort on European corn borer is to evaluate the yield impact the univoltine, or single generation, borer has on the development and yield of corn. Published research on the yield impact by European corn borer feeding has focused on the bivoltine, or two generation, borer. Local observations suggest that feeding may be more extensive by the later emerging univoltine borer when compared to the bivoltine, hinting at the need to revise economic thresholds for making treatment decisions.

Sunflower

An emphasis was placed on developing pest management options for the sunflower midge which is the only sunflower insect for which no rescue treatments exist. A preliminary degree day model for midge emergence has been developed. It will be evaluated against a Canadian data set and data collected in the upcoming field season. Efforts to control the sunflower midge with insecticides were variable. Evaluation of sunflower hybrids is continuing and provides growers an option when planting in areas where the midge is expected. Cooperative efforts are underway with USDA, the University of Minnesota, and South Dakota State University. A larval parasitoid reared from the sunflower midge was identified as Inostemma sp. (Hymenoptera: Platygastridae). It is the only parasitoid reared from the sunflower midge to date. Its impact as a mortality factor in the life history of the sunflower midge is being evaluated.

Honey bees as vectors of an entomopathogen to control the banded sunflower moth were successfully tested in large plot trials. Future work will focus on documenting the yield advantage of honey bee pollination to sunflower and to developing protocols for use of the vectoring method in commercial settings.

Trials at four locations in North Dakota (Fargo, Prosper, Carrington, and Minot) in 1998 revealed that as planting of sunflower was delayed, populations of the sunflower beetle declined, damage from feeding was reduced, and yields increased showing that this cultural control tactic could replace insecticide treatments for some fields. Oil content varied among locations and planting dates, thus the response was probably due to factors other than beetle feeding damage. The results of this investigation showed the potential of planting date as an effective non-chemical management strategy to reduce numbers of sunflower beetle adults and larvae in sunflower fields and their defoliation. Delayed planting also prevented yield reduction caused by the leaf destruction. In addition, this integrated pest management (IPM) tactic is compatible with biological control since delaying the planting date did not reduce the effectiveness of the parasitic fly that attacks the sunflower beetle.

Canola

Dr. Olson continued to evaluate Bacillus thuringiensis strains against the crucifer flea beetle, a major pest of canola. Of the several lines screened, a few showed low activity against the flea beetle.

Sugar Beet

Sugar beet insect research included monitoring of adult sugarbeet root maggot flies to identify areas with high potential for root damage. A degree-day model was used to predict adult sugar beet root maggot emergence and activity. The model is useful to producers in helping them determine when to use post-emergent insecticides. Field evaluations were conducted for registered and experimental insecticides and large scale evaluations were conducted to determine the economic returns from using insecticide versus no insecticide. Cooperative work with the USDA- ARS Sugar beet and potato research unit included the evaluation of world collected sugar beet lines for the expression of resistance. Monitoring continued for adult sugar beet root maggot insecticide resistance; resistance was not detected. Work on cover crops has shown them to be of value in reducing wind damage to seedling sugar beets, in alleviating soil born diseases, and in significantly lowering damage caused by the sugar beet root maggot.

Potato

The interaction of Colorado potato beetle defoliation and plant growth stage was evaluated in a field study. First year preliminary results indicate that defoliation during early and late season does not have a significant impact on the potato yield. However, low levels of defoliation in the middle of the season, during seed set and tuber bulking can significantly reduce yield.

Two experimental insecticides for potato pests were evaluated during the 1998 potato production season. Both of the insecticides showed good control of the Colorado potato beetles, and appeared to have a longer than seven day residual period.

Leafy Spurge

The biological control of leafy spurge by insects project was led by Drs. Carlson and Olson. Individual counties in North Dakota continue to collect and redistribute biological control agents (Aphthona flea beetle species) from their own insectaries. These redistribution efforts will continue to accelerate the impact of beneficial insects on leafy spurge populations throughout the state. Studies by the Department of Agricultural Economics have estimated that control of spurge with insects may provide an annual impact of $58 million by the year 2025. Research is now being focused on reasons for failure of insect to establish at some sites, such as flea beetle sex ratio and leafy spurge root structure. Other insects, i.e., a long horned beetle, and methods of increasing the populations of established species are being investigated. We will continue to focus on areas where leafy spurge has been controlled by insects to determine whether it will be maintained by the insects at the current low density of plants.

Insect Systematics and Ecology

The systematics and ecology lab led by Dr. Rider continued research on the systematics of the Pentatomidae including descriptive work on new tribes, genera and species. He continued work on the World Catalog of the Pentatomidae and the Palearctic catalogs of the Pentatomidae and Tessaratomidae. The catalog of Cimex names was accepted for publication. Dr. Fauske continued work on an identification manual of the Tortricidae of the Upper Great Plains, and has nearly completed the Hawk moths and Giant Silk moths of the Upper Great Plains manuscript. His manuscript discussing the paratypes housed in the North Dakota State Insect Reference Collection (NDSIRC) was accepted for publication. He and Mr. Tinerella also had their paper detailing the arrival and spread of an introduced dung beetle across the Dakotas was published.

A comparison of different management systems for tallgrass prairie and their effects on insect biodiversity is being studied. The effects of fire, grazing, and haying on tallgrass prairie arthropods is being measured and will be used to help design management practices that best maintain prairie habitat. Mr. Tinerella continued his work on corixid faunistics and systematics.

3. Research Grants and Contracts
The Department of Entomology depends on outside funding to support research programs and graduate student training. The total for grants and contracts received during 1998 was $281,428. Funding sources included commodity and other industry groups, State Board of Agricultural Research Fund, various USDA programs, and environmental groups.

To support research operations, the department receives $26,900 in appropriated funding. Most of this is used to support basic expenses such as telephone, xeroxing, mailing, and travel expenses (vehicle leases and overnight lodging). For this fiscal year, Entomology spent $32,178 on research related travel expenses alone. For each appropriated dollar the department brings in over $10 in grants and contracts.

See Appendix B for a listing of principal investigators, grant titles, funding sources, and amounts.

4. Publications and Presentations
Faculty and personnel in the Department of Entomology have an obligation to disseminate their research findings both to the scientific community and to the public. Entomology published 14 refereed journal articles, 1 book chapter, gave 5 invited seminars or presentations and 44 other research presentations, and organized 1 symposia.

See appendix C for a list of publications and appendix D for a list of presentations.

5. Impact of Activities
Research in entomology has two major thrusts, each of which builds on and supports the other. One is to develop a thorough understanding of insect biology. This is basic to all entomological research and is necessary to the success of projects in more applied areas. Pest management research is fundamental to our department and serves to allow agricultural production systems to reach their economic potential.

Systematics Work - Entomology is a taxonomic based science. Because there are more types of insects than all other plant and animal species combined, accurate identification of species is essential to any work with insects. In systematics we name and describe new species, genera, tribes, etc., and assemble these entities into classifications. This serves as a file and retrieval system for all the information known about the various organisms. Without names for the individual species we would not be able to file away any information learned from other research projects, nor would we be able to search for any past information. Development of good classification systems makes this file and retrieval system much more efficient. This serves as the foundation for nearly all other research. Also, in systematics we provide identifications for anyone who needs them. This is a very valuable service.

Ecology Work - This project will provide information to help natural area stewards to make better decisions on how best to manage their conservation areas. Historically, northern tallgrass prairies are burned every 4-5 years. This may not be optimal management for certain insect species and the long term health of the prairies. Our research will provide information on the effects of burning, grazing, and haying on insect and prairie health.

Pest Management - The majority of our efforts are to provide management of insect and weed pests. Safe and effective pest management systems are essential to allow crops and rangeland to reach their economic potential. Insect pest management often relies on chemical control but chemical controls are expensive, temporary, and site specific. Because of the adaptability of insects, changing production practices, and changes in pesticide regulations, reliance on a single control tactic, usually a pesticide, is risky. Entomology is actively looking to expand pest control options and to develop systems that are effective and economical.

6. Goals and Plan of Work
Entomology has two research goals with a number of specific sub goals that mirror the NDSU Agriculture Plan of Work. First is to develop a thorough knowledge of an insects taxonomic status, life cycle, ecology, interactions with its food resources and natural enemies and how cropping and production practices affect insects.

Second is to use that knowledge to develop a sustainable approach to pest management that combines biological, cultural, physical, and chemical tools to regulate pest populations while minimizing economic, environmental, and human health risks.

• Monitor populations of the sugarbeet root maggot for changes in susceptibility to pesticides.

C. Extension & Outreach

1. Mission of Unit
The service mission of the Department of Entomology is to provide extension, University, professional, and community service to our constituents. Extension services include collection, evaluation, interpretation, and public dissemination of entomological information. Service to the University and professional societies includes participation in activities related to the functioning of these organizations. The Department supports a vigorous K-12 educational outreach program for the benefit the community.

2. Extension Grants
The Department of Entomology depends on outside funding to enhance extension programs and graduate student training. An extension grant for $51,516 was received in 1998. Funding was from the USDA Pesticide Assessment Impact Program.

See appendix B for a complete listing.

3. Extension Publications, Presentations and Crop Tours
Faculty members in the Department of Entomology, not just those with extension appointments, have the obligation to disseminate research findings both to the agricultural community. Entomology published 6 extension bulletins, gave 37 presentations and 5 crop tours.

See appendices C and D for a complete listing of publications and presentations.

4. Professional service
Insect Diagnostics
Insect diagnostic requests are handled by two units within Entomology, Extension Entomology (Dr. Glogoza) and the Insect Systematics Lab (Dr. Rider).

The majority of the requests are handled by Extension Entomology. They make about 900 to 1,200 identifications per year. A typical breakdown of the clientele requesting identifications would be: 60% agriculture, 25% horticulture, and 15% structural pest problems. Identifications are handled as specimens submitted by clients, the NDSU Extension Service Plant Pest Diagnostic Lab, and through phone conversations.

The Insect Systematics Lab makes identifications when Extension Entomology is unavailable or does not know the answer. They also respond to a large number of requests from the general public. They make about 350 identifications per year, 60-70% from the general public and the remainder from extension and agriculture.

Both units routinely make identifications for the Plant Diagnostics Lab.

Insect Surveys
Wheat midge survey. Wheat midge surveys have been conducted for several years. Wheat midge survey. Wheat midge surveys have been conducted for several years. These surveys identify locations of high populations of overwintering midge and are used by growers and managers to help plan for the up coming season. The project has been funded through the North Dakota Wheat Commission since 1995. Members of the commission continue to support the effort and have expressed a desire to fund the project for a number of years.

Sunflower midge survey. Sunflower midge were surveyed over eastern North Dakota, western Minnesota, northern South Dakota, and southern Manitoba. Early season reports indicated that damage in Barnes county North Dakota may be high but late season surveys showed that actual damage was low. This may have been because of the increasing use of midge tolerant hybrids and because of a shortened midge flight. Midge damage was high in Manitoba and a developing population was identified in South Dakota.

5. Outreach to Constituents and to Peer Groups
Dr. Dave Rider as curator of the North Dakota State Insect Reference Collection sent and received insect specimens worldwide.

Dr. Gary Brewer served as chair-elect of the Plant Resistance to Insects section of the Entomological Society of America.

6. Community Outreach
The Entomology Department's outreach program targets the general public with principal emphasis on primary and secondary schools. The program explains the relationship man has with insects and insect relatives. It presents information about insects in an educational and entertaining manner and can be used to supplement elementary and secondary curricula.

One hundred fifty eight presentations were given , 95 to primary and secondary schools, 35 to Cub Scout groups, and 28 to the general public (Kiwannas, River Keepers, Bethany Homes, MarketPlace for Kids). Programs delivered with extension include summer youth camps, local library programs, county fairs, and 4H. The presentations were given to over 4,900 people, 90% were school age children.

Most of the presentations were given within a 20 mile radius of Fargo but schools at other locations were also visited; Bismark (22), Hankinson (6), Hettinger (1), Valley City (1), Grand Forks (1), and Weisek (1). Funding for the program has been provided by "On the road" funds from the Presidents office ($1,280) with additional funds from the VP of Agricultures office. We have reduced expenses over previous years by doing multiple presentations at each location rather than making several trips to the same site. The demand for K-12 outreach program continues to increase but more requests are received than can be accommodated. We are able to meet about 80% of the requests for presentations.

Graduate students through the Entomology Club are also actively involved in community outreach. They sponsored the Hug-a-Bug presentation at Yunker Farm for Girl Scouts and did a module for Expanding Horizons, dedicated to building young women's interest is science. Displays were set up at Marketplace for Kids and the Hot Zone Event. For the second year in a row, they were invited to participate in the Celebration of Nations at Moorhead State University where they promoted Entomology and sold mealworm lollipops, insect key chains, and dirt cupcakes.

As Gehrts Professor, Dr. Dave Rider spoke to several community groups and promoted NDSU through newspaper and other media outlets.

The honey bee vectoring of entomopathogen project headed by Gary Brewer was publicized in newspaper, magazine, and radio outlets in the region.

7. Fund-raising
see grants and contracts in the research and outreach sections

D. New Initiatives

1. Cultural Diversity

2. Affirmative Action / Equal Opportunity
We participated in 'Expanding Your Horizons', a program designed to encourage young women to enter careers in science and a program with Girl Scouts.

3. Cooperative Programming / Interdisciplinary Efforts
The department is active along with the departments of Plant Pathology and Plant Science in the interdisciplinary Plant Protection major.

4. International Activities
Dr. Larry Charlet made a site visit to Switzerland in July 1998 to visit with Dr. Dieter Schroeder, Centre Director, at the CABI-Bioscience Centre, Delemont, Dr. Franz Bigler, at the Agroecology and Agriculture, Reckenholz, and Dr. Ernst Boller, at the Swiss Federal Research Station, Wadenswil, to discuss biological control research in Europe and Switzerland. He also had discussions with Dr. Cesare Gessler, Treasurer for the Western Palearctic Regional Section of the International Organization for Biological Control, Zurich, on communication and cooperation between WPRS and the Nearctic Regional Section (acting in his capacity as President Elect of IOBC-NRS and with the concurrence of the global IOBC President, Dr. Jeff Waage (Director, IIBC, Silwood, UK).

Dr. Charlet was invited by Godollo University (Professor Ferenc Viranyi and Dr. Gabor Bujaki) and Bacsalmas Agro-Industry Co. (Dr. Zoltan Horvath) for a site visit during July 1998 at the following locations: Department of Plant Protection, Godollo University of Agricultural Sciences, Godollo, Hungary; Bacsalmas Agro-Industry Co., Bacsalmas, Hungary; Cereal Research Institute, Szeged, Hungary. He presented a seminar on sunflower insect pest management at the Cereal Research Institute and consulted on biological control and host-plant resistance of sunflower moths with Hungarian scientists.

5. Economic Development
See grants and contracts. Most of the efforts at crop protection have as part of their program, efforts to mitigate or prevent economic loss from pest insects. The biological control of leafy spurge project (a cooperative projects with several NDSU departments and other agencies) has as its goal the economic development of rangeland.

6. Assessment
See assessment data use in section II B.

7. Addressing Institutional Purposes
The Departments mission as stated in the Departmental Strategic Plan mirrors the triparte mission of NDSU as a Land-Grant University, research, teaching and service. Extension entomology provides formal service to clientele in the state and region (see extension and outreach, section I C). K-12 service is provided by a vigorous outreach program (see section I C 4).

8. College Planning Functions / Activities / Accomplishments

E. Priorities

Our major priorities now and for the future include the following:

• Basic and applied research on pest biology, ecology and population dynamics of species important to the Great Plains.
• Programs that address alternatives to chemical pesticides.
• Programs that address environmentally sound methods of using existing or new pesticides.
• Programs that address issues of risk/benefit of pesticides on both the environment and non-target organisms.
• Continued development of a used and useful North Dakota State Insect Reference Collection.
• Delivering educational programs in entomology and integrated pest management at the undergraduate, graduate and outreach levels.

II. Future
  A. Plans / Challenges and Program Strengths

We have a strong base in insect science and management. Our competence in insect ecology, biological control, host plant    resistance, plant - insect interactions, and insect systematics give us expertise in integrated pest management and basic insect  science. The addition of new faculty will add expertise in insect behavior, physiology, and biochemistry.

We face the challenge of prioritizing and successfully managing our resources to meet the research, outreach, and teaching    needs of the region. And we need to continually improve the bidirectional movement of information with our clients.

A remaining challenge is to increase graduate student enrollment and the quality of graduate student education. To achieve this, we are critically examining our graduate course offerings.

  B. Assessment Data Use

Our goal is to build a database to describe our effectiveness at instructing our graduate students in critical areas. Until several more years data have been collected the database will be of limited use. However, a review of the existing data suggests that a shift in emphasis in some of our classes is desirable. We will continually assess our teaching and put in place a check on our effectiveness in providing students a strong understanding of insect ecology, systematics, morphology, and physiology and effective training in communication skills.

Assessment data is being collected on the K-12 outreach program. The data will be used to improve the effort and better fit it to the science needs of K-12 educators.
