Genetics-based methods for agricultural insect pest management
- Abstract:
-
1. The sterile insect technique is an area-wide pest control method that reduces agricultural pest populations by releasing mass-reared sterile insects that compete for mates with wild insects. Contemporary genetics-based technologies have been developed that use insects that are homozygous for a repressible dominant lethal genetic construct rather than being sterilized by irradiation.
