USDA-ARS Corn Insects and Crop Genetics
Iowa State University has been fortunate to have the presence of a good United States Department of Agriculture-Agricultural Research Service (USDA-ARS) unit on campus working in the general area of plant breeding and genetics since about 1922. Many members of the Raymond F. Baker Center for Plant Breeding maintain long-standing collaborations with the USDA-ARS Corn Insects and Crop Genetics Research Unit lead by Dr. Leslie C. Lewis. The scientists and staff of the Corn Insects and Crop Genetics Research Unit are listed below. Contact information about individuals working for USDA in Ames is here.
