Education:
- Ph.D. Iowa State University Entomology 1978
- M.S. University of Florida Entomology 1974
- B.S. Tulane University Biology 1972
Areas of Interest:
Dr. Felsot's research and extension interests include hazard assessments
of transgenic crops, pesticide drift and buffer zone design, reduction
of insecticide application rates using new sprayer technologies, enhanced
biodegradation of pesticides, remediation of pesticide waste in soil,
best management practices for controlling agrochemical movement to surface
and ground water, analytical chemistry of pesticide residues in soil,
water, and food, pesticide toxicology, regulations, and risk communication.
He teaches a graduate course entitled "Applied Environmental Toxicology."
He also team teaches the course, "Pesticides: Toxicology and Modes
of Action."
