- Pest Management in Rice Entomology Internship
LSU Life Sciences Annex and greenhouse at Ben Hur Road in Baton Rouge
Some travel to field sites may be involved, depending on student interests. Possible projects include quantifying the emission of volatiles from rice panicles, behavioral studies involving the rice stink bug, investigation of the impact of secondary metabolites on fall armyworms, and studying the induction of ipomeamarone and other chemicals in sweet potato roots. Students will participate in projects related to plant-insect interactions or integrated pest management in rice. Graduate students will serve as the primary mentors.
Eagerness to learn, willingness to work independently, ability to tolerate field conditions for short periods of time
