Excited to share this work just released by @PNASNews from our lab @PurdueInsects. #IPM can reduce insecticides and improve grower yields by improving pollination. Huge thanks to @Kaplan_Lab and everyone who helped on this work!

My response to a recent article in the @nypost that criticized our lab's research on neonicotinoid insecticides. The intent of the article was to spread disinformation, fool the public, and influence policymakers. Please don't be fooled, folks.

.@pecenka26 and @Kaplan_Lab describe the use of integrated pollinator management in crop management, which can provide a more pollinator-suitable environment

Happy to share @pecenka26's 2nd PhD chapter, out in @SciReports, on how IPM affects pollinators in Midwestern US agroecosystems. This part focuses on the health of managed bees & diversity of 41 wild sp. acting as crop pollinators.

We tested interactions and relative importance of pests (🪲) vs. pollinators (🐝) for 🍉 yield to better prioritize management efforts.

Outcome is clear:

New study out in @JAppliedEcology led by former postdoc Ashley Leach. We show that implementing IPPM on commercial watermelon farms can virtually eliminate insecticide use (from 22 total sprays down to 1) while increasing pollination & yields! 🍉🐝
