Integrated Pest Management (IPM) and Sustainable Agriculture

Cornell CALS works on Bt Eggplant

Dr. Anthony Shelton says, “I develop more efficient and safer insect management practices and work with growers and extension educators to help them implement these systems.”  Check out his work here on his Bt eggplant work.  Shelton states that “The use of Bt eggplant has reduced the number of insecticide sprays by >90%, increased farmer income, and helped reduce environmental pollution.”
