Kelley J. Tilmon

Kelley J. Tilmon studies insect pests that affect major U.S. row crops, especially corn and soybeans, including how to monitor, sample, and manage pests like the Asiatic garden beetle, soybean aphid, corn rootworm, and thrips. Much of this work supports practical integrated pest management (IPM), such as tracking annual crop losses from insects, testing insecticides, evaluating pest resistance to genetically engineered (Bt) crops, and studying how cover crops and tillage practices affect pest and yield outcomes.

Publication output has remained fairly steady over the last decade at roughly 3-5 papers per year, with a notable increase in 2025.
