MANHATTAN – Kansas State University joins four other land-grant universities in sharing a three year, $1.9 million grant to study pest control methods, treatments and best management practices in wheat. The USDA’s Risk Avoidance and Mitigation Program (RAMP) awarded the grant, which provides resources that allow scientists from the five institutions to complete their work. Work conducted by the K-State entomology team - and funded by the Kansas Wheat Commission - led to the USDA RAMP grant.
