AUTO-STERILIZATION [1 record]

Record 1 2006-05-17

English

Subject field(s)
  • Crop Protection
  • Animal Pests (Crops)
CONT

Autosterilisation is based on the same principle as the attract and kill technique but the insecticide devoted to kill the males by contact is replaced by a product able to sterilise them, in this case by the insect growth regulator (IGR) fenoxycarb.

OBS

One dosing with triflumuron can render a female unable to produce viable pupae for life, and a dosed male can pass sufficient IGR to a female at mating to prevent pupal [insect growth regulator] production for several cycles.

French

Domaine(s)
  • Protection des végétaux
  • Animaux nuisibles aux cultures
CONT

L'autostérilisation fonctionne sur le même principe que l'attracticide, mais l'insecticide est remplacé par un agent chimique qui stérilise les papillons, par exemple un inhibiteur ou un régulateur de croissance [...]

OBS

Une dose peut rendre une femelle incapable de produire des pupes viables jusqu'à la fin de sa vie et un mâle traité peut transmettre suffisamment de triflumuron à une femelle au moment de l'accouplement pour empêcher la production de pupes pendant plusieurs cycles.
