Entomology Annex Laboratory<\/h1>\n

Welcome. The Entomology Annex Laboratory led by Dr. Robert Orpet is a corridor of rooms in the Burts Building located at the Tree Fruit Research and Extension Center<\/a> in Wenatchee, WA.<\/p>\n

Our team works with insects and people.<\/strong><\/h2>\n

Tree fruit orchardists experience a complex balance of economic, environmental, and social forces in their constant challenge of pest management. Our laboratory freely combines entomology with other disciplines to understand and address stakeholder issues holistically.<\/p>\n
