Research summary

Laura L. Ingwell's research focuses on sustainable pest and crop management in specialty and vegetable farming systems, particularly in high tunnels (protected, greenhouse-like structures used to extend growing seasons). Her work examines biological pest control using natural predators, integrated pest management (IPM) strategies that reduce pesticide use while protecting bees and wild pollinators, and alternative practices like black soldier fly larvae composting and weed management using tarps. This research aims to help farmers balance effective pest control with environmental and pollinator health.
