Perry L. Adkisson (11 March 1929 – 25 June 2020)[1] was Chancellor of the Texas A&M University System.

His academic work is known for his research on integrated pest management methods which allowed for a 50% reduction of insecticide use in U.S. agriculture.

[3] He was inducted into the U.S. Army in 1951 during the Korean War, and released from service in 1953, and returned to University of Arkansas to study for his master's degree.

He also served as deputy chancellor, vice president for agriculture and renewable resources and the head of the Department of Entomology.

[2] As part of the Huffaker Project, a collaborative project between multiple universities and government agencies, Adkisson joined with Ray F. Smith of the University of California to further their similar research in the field of sustainable insect control, resulting in what is now known as integrated pest management.
