Stan J. Flashinski, an entomology student at the University of Wisconsin,
Madison, has won the top award for Ph. D. research from the North Central Branch
of Entomological Society of America. The award was announced April 3, 1974 at
the spring meeting of the Society.
The purpose of the annual contest is to stimulate interest in entomology and
toxicology by recognizing graduate student achievements of Ph. D research and
several other categories of study.
Flashinski, under UW Entomologist E. P. Lichtenstein, studied how various fungi
degrad soil insecticides in non-toxic materials.
Some insecticides are persistent in the soil and some disappear rather quickly,
the researchers explain. Dyfonate, commonly used by farmers, is a relatives
non-persistent soil insecticide belonging to the organophosporour group. This
group, to a large extent, replaced previously used more persistent insecticides
such as DDT.
Two papers dealing with Flashinki’s research will be published in future issues
of the Canadian Journal of Microbiology. A third paper has been submitted for
publication.
