The annual award recognizes MAFES scientists for their contributions to Mississippi agriculture. Luttrell, a MAFES entomologist, is a leader in research to protect cotton from insect pests. He has been a major part of the research effort that led to transgenic Bt cotton, a development that may significantly reduce the use of insecticides in cotton.
