September 2024 | ICCON | Weed, Disease, & Pests, Oh My! | Session 3

On September 11, ICCON dug into the intersection of row crop conservation and entomology with Christine Elliott from Purdue University. Christine discussed IMP principles in cover crop systems, her research on the benefits of insects in ag systems, and the correlation of insects and natural pest control.
Christine Elliott is a Doctoral candidate and USDA-NIFA AFRI predoctoral fellow in the Kaplan Insect Ecology lab at Purdue University. Her research focuses on evaluating the impact of regenerative agricultural practices on insect biodiversity using traditional and cutting-edge monitoring methods.
