Onslow County Field Crops & Livestock Agent, Melissa Huffman, was one of four Extension Agents selected to participate in the Plant Sciences Initiative (PSI) Agent Network - Precision Pest Ecology with Dr. Anders Huseth, NCSU Entomologist.
Plant Sciences Initiative Research in Onslow County
During this project, she is beta testing an automated Corn Earworm Moth Trap in a cotton field. The trap is designed to automatically count corn earworm moths based on wing flap speeds! This information will aid farmers in making more timely control decisions to their crops.
Special thank you to Cox & Cox Farms in Richlands for cooperating on this research project.
