UK: Aphid experts unite to discuss latest research
Members of the Royal Entomological Society’s Aphid Special Interest Group came together from across the country to share their findings and view the new entomology facilities on campus.
Harper Adams is the only UK institution to teach basic and applied entomology, the scientific study of insects, at postgraduate level. This work is led by Professor of Entomology and resident aphid expert, Professor Simon Leather.
Professor Leather, a member of the Aphid Special Interest Group, said: “We were delighted to host the meeting here at Harper Adams and hear from some of the leading experts within the field of aphid research.
“Aphids are important pests of agriculture and are a particular interest of mine, so it was fantastic to host the group on campus for the first time.”
