Obj. 2. Investigate the ecology, biology, evolution, genetics, and behavior of corn arthropods. 2a. In cooperation with international community, develop genomics tools for key corn pests, including assembled and annotated genome and transcriptome sequences, genetic markers, and physical and QTL maps of important traits.  2b. Characterize races of corn pests, including ecology of races in sympatry.  2c. Assess effects of seed blend refuge in Bt corn on biology, development, and behavior of multiple lepidopteran pest species.  2d. Examine the potential role of microbial associates on important pest traits, including insecticide resistance, behaviors relevant to pest status, and insect-plant interactions.  2e. Characterize dispersal of adult WCR and lepidopteran pests, and assess its implications for IPM and for resistance development, spread, and mitigation.

Obj. 4. Employ diverse delivery methods to disseminate information related to sustainable management of corn arthropod pests. 4a. Establish an NC-205 video library website with permanent high quality versions of IPM videos for open online access and download to computer and portable electronic devices.  4b. Produce and deploy a comprehensive IPM system for cost-effective prevention, early detection, rapid diagnosis, and mitigation of new and emerging corn pests that links all stakeholders who have common interests in pest detection and management. 4c. Develop an array of IPM and IRM distance education workshops.
