OverviewAI-generated summary
Ben Thrash's research focuses on insect resistance to pesticides and genetically modified crops, primarily investigating populations of corn earworm (*Helicoverpa zea*) and fall armyworm (*Spodoptera frugiperda*) in the southeastern United States. His work examines the efficacy of various *Bacillus thuringiensis* (Bt) proteins, such as Cry1A.105, Cry2Ab2, Cry1Ab, and Vip3Aa20, against these agricultural pests. Thrash also evaluates the effectiveness of commonly used chemical insecticides against tarnished plant bug and rice weevil, and investigates optimal sampling intervals for pest control in cotton. He has published on thresholds and yield compensation in soybeans with different growth habits in relation to insect pressure. Thrash's scholarship metrics include an h-index of 4, with 10 total publications and 105 citations. He has collaborated with Glenn Studebaker and Neelendra K. Joshi on shared publications.
