This book was released on 1993 with total page 176 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Proceedings of the final research co-ordination meeting organized by the Joint FAO/IAEA Division of Nuclear Techniques in Food and Agriculture, Phoenix, Arizona, 9-13 September 1991. Genetic control of lepidopterous pests includes the environmentally benign use of the sterile insect technique as well as the use of inherited sterility, which is especially pronounced in the first filial (F1) generation following the exposure of the parents to substerilizing doses of ionizing radiation. In the case of inherited sterility, the F1 generation is reared in the field, thereby reducing costs. Some lepidopterous species can be mass reared in factories, stockpiled in diapause, irradiated and activated for release in synchrony with the wild population. This method has been highly successful since 1968 in protecting 0.5 million hectares of cotton in the San Joaquin Valley of California from the pink bollworm. This report presents information mainly on the inital phases in the development of the use of inherited sterility to manage populations of the corn earworm, codling moth, Asian corn borer, European corn borer, diamondback moth, cotton leafworm, fall army worm, tropical army worm, gypsy moth, pink bollworm and wild mulberry silkworm.

Download or read book Sterile Insect Technique written by Victor A. Dyck and published by CRC Press. This book was released on 2021-01-05 with total page 1200 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The sterile insect technique (SIT) is an environment-friendly method of pest control that integrates well into area-wide integrated pest management (AW-IPM) programmes. This book takes a generic, thematic, comprehensive, and global approach in describing the principles and practice of the SIT. The strengths and weaknesses, and successes and failures, of the SIT are evaluated openly and fairly from a scientific perspective. The SIT is applicable to some major pests of plant-, animal-, and human-health importance, and criteria are provided to guide in the selection of pests appropriate for the SIT. In the second edition, all aspects of the SIT have been updated and the content considerably expanded. A great variety of subjects is covered, from the history of the SIT to improved prospects for its future application. The major chapters discuss the principles and technical components of applying sterile insects. The four main strategic options in using the SIT — suppression, containment, prevention, and eradication — with examples of each option are described in detail. Other chapters deal with supportive technologies, economic, environmental, and management considerations, and the socio-economic impact of AW-IPM programmes that integrate the SIT. In addition, this second edition includes six new chapters covering the latest developments in the technology: managing pathogens in insect mass-rearing, using symbionts and modern molecular technologies in support of the SIT, applying post-factory nutritional, hormonal, and semiochemical treatments, applying the SIT to eradicate outbreaks of invasive pests, and using the SIT against mosquito vectors of disease. This book will be useful reading for students in animal-, human-, and plant-health courses. The in-depth reviews of all aspects of the SIT and its integration into AW-IPM programmes, complete with extensive lists of scientific references, will be of great value to researchers, teachers, animal-, human-, and plant-health practitioners, and policy makers.
