Elzie McCord, Jr.
Professor McCord received his Ph.D. in entomology, studying the toxicology of insecticide resistance in insects. He worked at DuPont Agricultural Products for 23 years in a variety of positions including both Senior Research Biologist and Senior Research Chemist. His research interests include insecticide resistance mechanisms in insects, environmental toxicology, plant allelopathy, and the effects of plant allelochemicals on non-target hosts.
