August 28 Speaker: Dr. Brett Blaauw

Originally from Southwest Michigan, Dr. Brett Blaauw is currently a professor and Extension specialist of fruit entomology with a dual appointment at the University of Georgia and Clemson. As such, he has regional Extension responsibilities for a variety of fruits, including peaches, apples, and grapes. His research and Extension programs directly address the regional needs of southeastern fruit growers through lab, research farm trials, on-farm research, and collaborative efforts with colleagues. Additionally, as part of Dr. Blaauw’s research and Extension work, he tests the efficacy of insecticides against key insect pests, resulting in best management practices that are published and disseminated to stakeholders. Through addressing grower needs, his work highlights the importance of IPM and the support of beneficial insects for the sustainability of southeastern fruit production.
