The Department of Entomology seeks to teach the study of insects, their life-cycles, and the practicalities in dealing with them, for use in the fields of business, industry, education, and public health. The study of entomology can be applied towards evolution and ecological sciences, and insects’ relationships with other organisms & humans, or towards an agricultural or horticultural focus, focusing more on pest-control and management.
History
The Department of Entomology was founded in 1975 as a result of the division of the Department of Zoology and Entomology.

Abstract
Fusarium ear rot and fumonisin concentrations were compared within five pairs of Bt and near-isogenic conventional hybrids in a replicated field plot at the Iowa State University Johnson Research Farm in Story Co., IA. For each of the five commercially available Bt transformation events, a representative commercial hybrid and its near-isogenic conventional counterpart were included. The 17-ft, four-row plots were planted on 13 May with 30 in row spacing and 120 seeds per plot. The experimental design was a randomized complete block with eight replications. The previous crop was soybeans.
