OverviewAI-generated summary

Ben Thrash's research focuses on understanding and managing insect resistance to agricultural control methods, particularly in economically significant crops. His work investigates the efficacy of various insecticides and insecticidal proteins against key agricultural pests such as the corn earworm (*Helicoverpa zea*) and fall armyworm (*Spodoptera frugiperda*). Thrash has published studies evaluating the susceptibility of these and other insect populations, including the tarnished plant bug (*Lygus lineolaris*) and the rice weevil (*Sitophilus oryzae*), to different chemical insecticides and *Bacillus thuringiensis* (Bt) proteins. His publications also explore crop growth habits and their impact on insect thresholds, as seen in his work with soybeans. Thrash collaborates with researchers at the University of Arkansas at Fayetteville, including Glenn Studebaker and Neelendra K. Joshi, on shared publications. His scholarship metrics include an h-index of 3, with 10 total publications and 104 total citations.
