B. Research / Scholarship

1. Research mission

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 for the second year. Greenhouse studies found little egg deposition by female midge on durum heads when offered hard red spring wheat in a choice test. However, in field studies, no preference was shown between durum wheats and hard red spring wheat although some durum varieties had consistently low numbers of larvae present.

Corn

With both single and two generation European corn borers (ECB) present, a better understanding of when moth flights occur would be beneficial in planning field scouting activities. Moth emergence from field collected ECB larvae from three locations all had similar emergence patterns based on insect degree day models. It appears that the emergence and flight period of univoltine ECB can be predicted using temperature data. A second effort is to evaluate the yield impact of univoltine, or single generation, ECB borers on the development and yield of corn. Published research on the yield impact by ECB 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 strain suggesting the need to revise economic thresholds for making treatment decisions.

Sunflower

Sunflower stem weevil larvae overwinter in sunflower stalks, and if populations are high, can cause plant lodging. Studies conducted from 1996 to 1999 were carried out to develop integrated pest management (IPM) strategies to reduce weevil damage. Incidence of weevil infestation and stalk populations were highest in the central compared to the northern Plains and parasite species numbers were greatest in the central Plains. Foliar and in-furrow insecticidal treatments were effective in reducing densities of weevil larvae, but an insecticidal seed treatment was not. Among the hybrids and accessions evaluated, some had about 50% less weevil larvae in the stalks. Populations of larvae in the stalks was reduced as planting was delayed.

The sunflower beetle is the major defoliating pest of sunflower. Our goal for this two year project was to determine whether altering planting dates can reduce the impact of sunflower beetle feeding on cultivated sunflower and if this method could be effective in a variety of production regions throughout North Dakota. Delayed planting reduced numbers of sunflower beetle adults and larvae and defoliation and minimized yield reduction.

Coordinated projects are underway with the sunflower midge. Commercial hybrids were rated for resistance to the sunflower midge to provide growers informed choices when growing sunflower in locations where midge is likely. Insecticide trials continued to be ineffective probably because of poor timing of treatments. A model to predict sunflower midge emergence based on degree days forecasts emergence to within a 7 to 9 day period. While this is useful, a more precise estimate of midge activity is needed. The spread and movement of midge is being mapped using geographic information system technology.

Damage by banded sunflower moth is often overlooked because the moths are not noticed and because damaged seeds are often lost during harvest. However, 15 to 20 percent seed damage is not unusual in eastern North Dakota and insecticide sprays can reduce damage by 66 to 75 percent. However, sampling of the moths is difficult because they are active at night and largely rest outside of the fields. The potential of sampling eggs an alternative to sampling moths is being studied. The relationship between egg counts and damaged seed and yield is being defined and will be used to develop an economic threshold. Distribution of banded sunflower moth eggs and damage throughout fields is being plotted to determine if whole field or partial field controls can be used.

Canola

The relationship between flea beetle injury and canola yield was examined using field plots established in the major canola production areas of North Dakota and Minnesota. Preliminary data indicates that seed weight decreased slightly as damage increased. However, oil content did not vary.

Data indicates that sticky traps and visual inspection are potentially useful tools for monitoring population trends. Trap catches were generally higher on pheromone-baited traps than unbaited traps. Sweeping was relatively ineffective in collecting flea beetles because it varied with the weather and the size of the crop.

In tests of the beneficial fungal pathogen Beauveria bassiana applied to sites where overwintering beetles are emerging, less than 5% of the beetles became infected. Wet and cool conditions during the experimental period may have suppressed the activity of the fungal pathogen.

With the availability of refined economic thresholds and appropriate monitoring techniques, insecticide use could potentially be reduced over almost 1 million acres in North Dakota and Minnesota combined.

Sugar Beet

Sugar beet insect pest management work included trapping efforts to monitor sugar beet root maggot (SBRM) fly population levels for identification of areas with high root damage potential. A degree-day model is used in combination with fly activity monitoring to assist producers and pest management specialists in determination of optimal timing for postemergence rescue insecticide applications.

Field experiments included performance evaluations of registered and experimental insecticides, application methodology, formulations, and treatment timing for SBRM control. Results indicate that producers can use low registered application rates in low- and moderate-risk areas. Also, most registered soil insecticides perform best when applied using a modified granular applicator referred to as the "spoon.". Results suggest that the effect of Counter 15G is enhanced at reduced and standard application rates when combined with early-season cover crops of oat, wheat, barley, or rye. Assessments in all studies included root injury ratings, gross sugar yield, and sugar quality.

A cooperative study to evaluate germplasm for resistance to SBRM was continued with Dr. Larry G. Campbell, USDA-ARS, Northern Crop Science Laboratory, Sugar Beet and Potato Research Unit, Fargo, ND. Material evaluated included 21 selections from the world Beta collection and 9 commercial lines. Some lines expressed low levels of tolerance.

Potato

A biologically-based integrated pest management approach was examined for impact on the Colorado potato beetle, Leptinotarsa decemlineata (Say). A resistant potato clone with elevated glycoalkaloids was tested in combination with a predator (two-spotted stinkbug, Perillus bioculatus) and entomopathogens (Beauveria bassiana and Bacillus thuringiensis). Expression of resistance in the potato clone appeared to be susceptible to environmental conditions and because of this, the combined impact of resistance and biological control could not be evaluated. Potato yields were greater when B. thuringiensis alone was used to manage Colorado potato beetle on Russet Burbank (susceptible potato variety) compared to B. bassiana, P. bioculatus, B. bassiana plus P. bioculatus, or the chemical insecticide Furadan.

Leafy Spurge

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 augment 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 flea beetles to establish at some sites, such as flea beetle sex ratio and leafy spurge root structure. Preliminary results indicate that sex ratio may not be a factor in determining establishment. Aphthona flea beetles appear to establish at higher numbers and reduce a spurge infestation quicker when the lateral and filament roots are in the upper few inches of the soil. 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 continued research on the systematics of the Pentatomidae including descriptive work on new tribes, genera and species, and developing a World Catalog of the Pentatomidae and Palearctic catalogs of the Pentatomidae and Tessaratomidae. The catalog of Cimex names was accepted for publication. Work in other orders included an identification manual of the Tortricidae of the Upper Great Plains, the Hawk moths and Giant Silk moths of the Upper Great Plains, and a compilation of North Dakota state and county records for the Lepidoptera and Orthoptera. Papers discussing the paratypes housed in the North Dakota State Insect Reference Collection and ground beetle habitat and plant association were accepted.

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. Lepidoptera, Orthoptera, Arachnida, Hemiptera, some Homoptera, and Coleoptera, especially Carabidae are being studied. Other work on faunistics and systematics of the Corixidae is underway.

3. Research Grants and Contracts

The Department of Entomology depends on outside funding to support research programs and graduate student training. The total research grants and contracts received during 1999 was $235,608. Funding sources included commodity and other industry groups, State Board of Agricultural Research Fund, various USDA programs, and conservation groups.

To support research operations, the department receives $20,100 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 $31,126 on research related travel expenses alone. The ratio of grant and contract dollars brought into the department to appropriated research operation dollars if 11.7 to 1.

5. Impact of activities

Entomology has two broad research thrusts with a number of specific sub-goals that mirror the NDSU Agriculture Plan of Work.

  1. First is to increase our understanding of insect biology by developing 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.

A thorough understanding of insect biology is essential to all entomological research and is necessary to the success of projects in more applied areas.

  1. Second is to expand on our understanding of insect biology to develop a sustainable approach to insect pests and weeds that combine biological, cultural, physical, and chemical tools to regulate pest populations while minimizing economic, environmental, and human health risks and allowing agricultural production systems to reach their economic potential.

Systematics Work - Entomology is a taxonomy 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 our other research and makes accurate identifications for agricultural and medical professionals and the public possible.

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 tall grass prairies have been burned every 4-5 years. This may not be an optimal management strategy for the survival of certain insect species or for the long term health of the prairies. Our research will provide information on the effects of burning, grazing, and haying on insect biodiversity 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 maximize the economic potential of crops and rangeland. 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.

Educational Outreach - Entomological research is of value and interest to producers, land managers, government agencies, and the general public. Requests for information are provided as computer presentations, web pages, extension publications and other outlets such as field days and tours.

C. Extension & Outreach

1. Extension & outreach mission

The service mission of the Department of Entomology is to provide professional service, service to peers and organizations, and community outreach.

Professional service includes extension (the collection, evaluation, interpretation, and public dissemination of entomological information), diagnostics, and insect survey activities.

Service to peers and organizations includes service to other entomologists and scientists, service to the university, and to professional societies (participation in activities related to the functioning of these organizations).

Public service includes a vigorous K-12 educational outreach program for the benefit of local and regional communities and professional entomology-related services to medical and veterinary clients and the general public.

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 carries out identifications when Extension Entomology is unavailable or lacks appropriate resources to make a positive identification. They also respond to a large number of requests from the general public. They make about 350 identifications per year with 60-70% being directly 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. 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 damage was surveyed over eastern North Dakota, western Minnesota, northern South Dakota, and southern Manitoba. High midge damage was limited to areas north of Devils Lake and southern Manitoba.

3. Peer and organizational service

Service to Peers

The North Dakota State Insect Reference Collection is internationally recognized for the work done in Pentatomid systematics. Dr. Dave Rider, curator of the collection, receives over 1,000 specimens yearly from colleagues worldwide for identification. In exchange, specimens in other taxonomic groups are sent from NDSU to other locations. This service is part of an worldwide network of insect system that exchange expertise and is a recognition of the quality of the insect systematic work done here.

4. 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 is used to supplement elementary and secondary curricula.

One hundred fifty three presentations were given, 102 to primary and secondary schools, 6 to Cub Scout groups, 5 to extension service eco-camps, and 40 to other groups such as library programs, migrant worker summer school, daycare programs, youth and after school programs, and 4H. The presentations were given to over 7,540 people (a 50% increase over the previous year) with 90% being school-age children.

Most of the presentations were given in the Red River valley but funding from the President's office ("On the road", $1,280) with additional funds from the VP of Agriculture office allowed presentations to all of North Dakota. Presentations were made in Weisik, Hatton, Litton, Hillsboro, Bismark, Minot, Valley City, Williston, and Hankinson. The demand for our K-12 outreach program continues to increase and more requests are received than can be accommodated. We were able to meet about 75% of the requests for presentations in 1999.

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. 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. The students made presentations to ND science teachers and prepared activity packets and riker mounts for use in K-12 science classes.

5. Fund-Raising

Extension Grants

The Department of Entomology depends on outside funding to enhance extension programs and graduate student training. An extension grant from the USDA Pesticide Impact Assessment Program for $8,000 was received in 1999.

See appendix B, Grants and Contracts (page 14), for details.

D. Special 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. Gary Brewer is coordinator for the Plant Protection curriculum.

Entomology worked with faculty and staff in a number of departments to develop a multi-disciplinary distance MS program in Plant Protection.

4. International Activities

none

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. Addressing Institutional Purposes

The Departments mission as stated in the Departmental Strategic Plan mirrors the tripartite 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).

7. College Planning Functions / Activities / Accomplishments


E. Priorities and Goals

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


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 with expertise in insect behavior and insect physiology/biochemistry have strengthened Entomology in areas basic to the science.

We face the challenge of prioritizing and successfully managing our resources to meet the research, outreach, and teaching needs of the region. Additionally, 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.
