Small Cages with Insect Couples Provide a Simple Method for a Preliminary Assessment of Mating Disruption
Figure 1
Percentage of mated (a) L. botrana and (b) E. ambiguella females in field cages (mesh size = 800 μm) containing a pheromone dispenser. The notation μg/day represents the approximate daily emission rate of pheromone dispensers for (a) L. botrana and (b) E. ambiguella. Pest control schemes with different letters are significantly different (); data are untransformed; bars = 1 SE.
