Jessica Metcalf, professor in the CSU Department of Animal Sciences, was featured today in The New York Times for her New World screwworm research. Metcalf's project was recently selected for one of the U.S. Department of Agriculture's Grand Challenge Awards aimed at eradicating the New World screwworm fly.

Scientists are monitoring the pest's spread using swormlures, which attract flies to sticky paper with an odor that mimics decomposing flesh. However, unlike other flies that feed on rotting flesh, the New World screwworm feeds on and lays its eggs in living tissue, making the effectiveness of the swormlures uncertain.

CSU Ag Water Quality has concluded a three year study that was conducted in the Yampa, Gunnison and Colorado River basins. This study found that irrigated mountain hayfields work like large filters, removing sediment, fertilizer, excess nitrogen and phosphorus, and other pollutants from runoff.

This mountain meadow hay study has led to a new Colorado Water Plan project in the Yampa River Basin. The new project will demonstrate and evaluate best management practices in mountain meadow hay systems, building on this producer-driven research. Erik Wardle, the program’s director, explained, “These irrigated ag lands in the mountains are essentially large grass filter strips.”
