Sterile Insect Technology is a critical component of the area-wide pink bollworm (Pectinophora gossypiella (Saunders)) eradication program in the southwestern US and northern Mexico. The program involves growers, state, federal and international cooperators, and was proposed by the National Cotton Council's Pink Bollworm Action Committee. Sterile insects were released over cotton fields for the entire 2 year growing season. Populations of wild and sterile moths were monitored with pheromone baited traps and boll samples. The role and effects of releasing sterile moths is discussed. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR] |
