Eric Rebek is an Assistant Professor in the Department of Entomology and Plant Pathology at Oklahoma State University.

Dr. Rebek earned a Ph.D. in Entomology from Purdue University in 2004, a M.S. and B.S. in Entomology from the University of Wisconsin in 1999 and 1996 respectively. He also conducted research on the invasive species, emerald ash borer, as a post-doctoral researcher at Michigan State University.

Rebek has an extension appointment related to the green industry, involving the biology, current status, and management of arthropod pests of horticultural crops, especially ornamentals, turfgrass, and grapes. He also provides education to the Oklahoma Master Gardener Program. His research interests include integrated management strategies of horticultural arthropod pests, plant-insect-plant pathogen interactions, development of meaningful treatment thresholds, and basic biology of key arthropod pests. Rebek also teaches one undergraduate level course related to forest entomology.

This is a 1st edition book about insecticides and their application. The chapter that Rebek and co-authors wrote provides information about alternative tactics and methods to insecticidal control of insect pests that can be used to design an economically sound integrated approach for insect management that does least harm to the environment.
