Winner of 2017 AGRO International Award for Research in Agrochemicals

Dr. Bloomquist is the 2017 winner of the AGRO International Award for Research in Agrochemicals. Read more on his research.

Dr. Bloomquist’s presentation will review the major known mechanisms of insecticide synergism involving penetration, metabolism, and mode of action. Additional material will cover new mode of action data on the antifeedant flonicamid and its synergistic interactions with the pyrethroid, permethrin.
