Popis:	A 16-repetition experiment was conducted to evaluate the performance of the “tower” system for eclosion of sterile medflies, Ceratitis capitata (Wiedemann). This system has now replaced the PARC system previously used in Florida S.I.T. programs. In addition to testing the efficacy of these eclosion systems, as compared to the PARC system, quality control was also monitored and evaluated. No significant differences were found between either system in regards to C. capitata yield, weight or flight ability (p=0.05). Based on these comparative trials, the tower eclosion system appears to be an efficient alternative to the PARC system.
