An IPM Webinar SeriesEmerald Ash Borer in the West
Emerald ash borer (EAB) is considered the most destructive forest pest the U.S. has ever faced, and is slowly spreading westward. This 2-hour webinar will begin with an update of this pest in the west by Dr. Kadie Britt (Colorado State University), who leads a multi-state effort funded by the Western IPM Center to raise awareness of EAB. Dr. Clifford Sadof, retired entomologist from Purdue University, will then present the staggering efforts conducted in the eastern U.S. to combat this pest.
Dr. Clifford Sadof is a retired Professor of Entomology at Purdue University. He received a B.S. in Plant Science and an M.S. in Entomology from Rutgers University, and a Ph.D. in Entomology from the University of Maryland. Dr. Sadof's research interests include integrated pest management of ornamental landscape and production systems, reduction of invasive species introductions on imported nursery and floriculture crops, and developing education and outreach programs to reduce the introduction of invasive species. He has also conducted extensive work on the management and outreach of emerald ash borer, contributing significantly to national efforts to mitigate its impact on urban and natural forests.
