Edward Fred Knipling Papers. Special Collections, USDA National Agricultural Library.
Edward Fred Knipling (1909-2000) was an internationally known entomologist and theorist. His scientific contributions included parasitoid augmentation technique, insect control methods involving the medication of the hosts, and various models of total insect population management. He was best known, however, for the biological control method known as sterile insect technique (SIT), which was employed in screwworm eradication efforts in Curacao, Netherlands Antilles, Florida, Texas, Mexico, and parts of Central America. Knipling studied entomology at the Agricultural and Mechanical College of Texas (now Texas A&M University) and Iowa State College (now Iowa State University). He worked for the U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) from 1930 to 1973. After retiring from USDA, Knipling continued to serve as a collaborator with the USDA's Agricultural Research Service (ARS), and he remained active in the field of entomology until 2000.
