The University of Florida’s Department of Entomology and Nematology studies insects and tiny worms called nematodes that affect agriculture, ecosystems, and human health. Their research aims to understand insect behavior, improve pest management, and conserve beneficial species. The department offers education and training for students and works to develop sustainable solutions for pest problems, crop protection, and environmental health. Through scientific discovery and extension services, they help farmers, industry, and communities better manage insect and nematode issues, promoting ecological balance and food security.
