Entomology has been an academic discipline at Iowa State University for over 100 years and this year was the Centennial of the teaching of entomology at ISU. During that time a number of insect pests have had to be managed, including new, invading species. With each of the insect problems, the Department has built a strong basic foundation and escalated the practices to integrated, high tech solutions. When the European corn borer invaded Iowa, understanding the basic lifecycle led to cultural control techniques. Then advances in rearing the pest led to improvements in breeding corn varieties that were resistant to the larvae. Finally, with the registration of genetically engineered corn borer resistant varieties, ISU not only evaluated the efficacy of the lines but studied the environmental impact of their deployment. As the western corn rootworm moved across the state, crop rotation was promoted as a solution. As the rootworms have adapted to rotation and developed resistance to insecticides, new tactics, included genetically engineered rootworm-resistant corn, are being integrated into new systems to manage the evolving pest. Information delivery techniques have evolved as well; from print and field days, to radio and television, and finally to high-quality, multi-color publications and Webcasts and finally Podcasts
