Do you know the difference in hemp and marijuana? The legalization of hemp growth means farming & processing could be coming to local areas. UGA faculty researched community perceptions of hemp and are using this knowledge to inform hemp companies before they “put down roots.”

Predator insects can naturally fight destructive pests in your lawn, but learning about how this looks in the wild is no simple task. UGA entomology researchers developed clay models as a tool to observe the interactions between prey and predator. This will help create integrated pest management techniques for turfgrass in the future.
