Our research and extension program is all about helping fruit and vegetable farmers, consultants and extension specialists do a better job of managing weeds. We conduct practical research that brings new weed control technology to the farm, and incorporates new knowledge about weed biology and the agroecosystem. We develop and provide educational programs and curriculum to help our clients become better weed managers. We train students who will become the scientists, educators, extension specialists and farmers of tomorrow. These are images taken by students and staff while working in the Weed Workshop.

The objectives of the Conference are (1) to advance the science and practice of forest entomology, (2) to provide a medium of exchange of professional thought, and (3) to serve as a clearing house for technical information on forest insect problems of the southern United States.

We are a regulatory agency of the Florida Department of Agriculture & Consumer Services which works to detect, intercept and control plant and honey bee pests that threaten Florida's native and commercially grown plants and agricultural resources.

ScaleNet is all about scale insects (Coccoidea): a group of insects comprising about 7,500 species. Scale insects vary dramatically in their appearance from very small organisms (1-2mm) that occur under wax covers (some look like oyster shells), to shiny pearl-like objects (about 5mm), to creatures covered with mealy wax. They spend most or all of their lives feeding on plants and are primarily important as plant pests in greenhouses, backyards, and on fruit trees. ScaleNet provides comprehensive information on the scale insects of the world, including queriable information on their classification, nomenclatural history, distribution, hosts, and literature.

Mactode Publications was initially created in order to develop educational teaching materials for the science of plant nematology. Scientific expertise is provided by Dr. Jonathan D. Eisenback of the Department of Plant Pathology, Virginia Tech, Blacksburg, Virginia, USA and Professor Dr. Ulrich Zunke of the Department of Cell Biology, University of Hamburg, Hamburg, Germany. We specialize in educational resources, primarily for nematology, such as photographs on CD ROMs (for teaching, extension and web pages), as well as videos, books, posters, and 3D models for research and study, as well as for illustrating class lectures, seminars, and handouts.

The University of Georgia Museum of Natural History is an important repository of objects, artifacts, and specimens relating to the natural history of Georgia and the Southeast. The GMNH is a consortium consisting of 14 natural history collections that are supported by six departments at the University of Georgia: Anthropology, Botany, Entomology, Geography, Geology, and Plant Pathology. Each collection is the largest of its kind in the state.

Insect Images is a project of the Center for Invasive Species and Ecosystem Health.
