Download or read book Sterile Insect Technique written by Victor A. Dyck and published by CRC Press. This book was released on 2021-01-06 with total page 1493 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.

Download or read book Exploring Sterile Insect Technique for Management of Codling Moth in Michigan written by Megan Abigail Andrews and published by . This book was released on 2022 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The use of sterile insect technique (SIT) for codling moth (Cydia pomonella L.) management has been proven successful at suppressing wild populations, allowing for the reduction of insecticide applications. Most of this research has occurred in British Columbia, Canada and Washington, United States. In this thesis, I demonstrate how this tool might be utilized in Michigan apple orchards. I first looked at how male and female C. pomonella respond to traps baited with different chemical cues in Michigan compared to Washington in a 2-year study. I found a difference in the sex ratios of recaptured codling moths between the two states, demonstrating that lure performance is different based upon regional differences. In addition to monitoring traps, I investigated how to apply sterile insect technique in Michigan where a farm-scale approach is necessary due to the relatively small size of orchards in this region. I compared the timing of releases during the season (1st generation, 2nd generation, or season long) in addition to the rate of moths released (half or full rate). The full rate released for first generation or season long had consistently low wild male moth captures throughout the season. Finally, we tested the method of the release (self-released, released in the canopy, or released on the ground) and found that there was no significant difference between the release methods tested. These results can inform future development of codling moth management programs for Michigan apple orchards that include the sterile insect release.

Download or read book Area wide Integrated Pest Management written by Jorge Hendrichs and published by CRC Press. This book was released on 2021-02-01 with total page 1028 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Over 98% of sprayed insecticides and 95% of herbicides reach a destination other than their target species, including non-target species, air, water and soil. The extensive reliance on insecticide use reduces biodiversity, contributes to pollinator decline, destroys habitat, and threatens endangered species. This book offers a more effective application of the Integrated Pest Management (IPM) approach, on an area-wide (AW) or population-wide (AW-IPM) basis, which aims at the management of the total population of a pest, involving a coordinated effort over often larger areas. For major livestock pests, vectors of human diseases and pests of high-value crops with low pest tolerance, there are compelling economic reasons for participating in AW-IPM. This new textbook attempts to address various fundamental components of AW-IPM, e.g. the importance of relevant problem-solving research, the need for planning and essential baseline data collection, the significance of integrating adequate tools for appropriate control strategies, and the value of pilot trials, etc. With chapters authored by 184 experts from more than 31 countries, the book includes many technical advances in the areas of genetics, molecular biology, microbiology, resistance management, and social sciences that facilitate the planning and implementing of area-wide strategies. The book is essential reading for the academic and applied research community as well as national and regional government plant and human/animal health authorities with responsibility for protecting plant and human/animal health.

Download or read book Pheromone Communication in Moths written by Jeremy D. Allison and published by Univ of California Press. This book was released on 2016-10-25 with total page 411 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Common among moths is a mate-finding system in which females emit a pheromone that induces males to fly upwind along the pheromone plume. Since the chemical pheromone of the domesticated silk moth was identified in 1959, a steady increase in the number of moth species whose pheromone attractants have been identified now results in a rich base for review and synthesis. Pheromone Communication in Moths summarizes moth pheromone biology, covering the chemical structures used by the various lineages, signal production and perception, the genetic control of moth pheromone traits, interactions of pheromones with host-plant volatiles, pheromone dispersal and orientation, male pheromones and courtship, and the evolutionary forces that have likely shaped pheromone signals and their role in sexual selection. Also included are chapters on practical applications in the control and monitoring of pest species as well as case studies that address pheromone systems in a number of species and groups of closely allied species. Pheromone Communication in Moths is an invaluable resource for entomologists, chemical ecologists, pest-management scientists, and professionals who study pheromone communication and pest management.

Download or read book Factors Influencing Sterile Codling Moth cydia Pomonella L Recapture Dispersion and Effectiveness as a Control Tactic in Apple Orchard Systems written by Robert T. Curtiss (III) and published by . This book was released on 2021 with total page 240 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The sterile insect technique is a proven technology used in the control and eradication of a number of pest insects over large areas. However, using this technology on a farm scale is a new and unproven application that until now has not been explored. This dissertation examines the impact of integrating the sterile insect technique for codling moth (Cydia pomonella) into existing farm-scale commercial apple pest management programs, methods of release, the sterile insect's interactions with the orchard, how existing management schemes are compatible with releases of sterile C. pomonella, the role of sterile female moths and dispersive distances. The main objectives were to 1) determine the impact of release methods on moth dispersal; 2) measure moth dispersal in contemporary trellised or netted orchards, and in orchards planted on steep terrain; 3) determine male and female dispersal in orchards treated with pheromone mating disruption; 4) establish release densities and timings to manage C. pomonella; 5) integrate sterile codling moths into existing commercial apple pest management programs; 6) elucidate the role of sterile females in controlling C. pomonella males; 7) determine the probability of male and female codling moth catches from specified distances using traps baited with a pheromone/kairomone combination lure in a single-trap, multiple-release experimental design; and 8) apply this information for estimating trap plume reach, maximum moth dispersive distance and absolute pest density based on moth catch in traps. Comparison of releases by hand at a single central location versus evenly released throughout the orchard showed higher overall recapture of sterile moths in all traps placed within the orchard when they were released at the center, suggesting that higher numbers of moths were retained in targeted areas with this method. For releases by hand or by unmanned aerial systems (UAS), recapture of sterile moths was higher when released by UAS. Orchard characteristics were found to impact sterile moth dispersal from single central locations; moths moved away from release points more in trellised orchards than in those with large old single trees. Male and female dispersal in orchards with mating disruption was similar, but shorter than in orchards without mating disruption. Sterile codling moths released on commercial farms controlled wild populations when released at densities ranging from 500 to 2000/ha and increasing numbers of sterile females were shown to increase the disruption of wild populations. Deploying sterile males and females at lower densities than the standard 2000/ha or targeting the peak flight of one or both generations showed promise as a means of making SIT a more cost-effective tactic for managing C. pomonella at a farm scale. In orchards with mating disruption, the plume reach of a single codling moth trap baited with a PHEROCON® CM-DA COMBOTM Lure + AA Lure (Trece, Inc.) was found to be very small, maximum dispersal distance was ca. 100-130m, corresponding to a trapping radius of ca 3-5ha. Pest density estimates, based on capture of a single moth in traps, were shown to correspond to 113-180 moths/ha.
