Small Cages with Insect Couples Provide a Simple Method for a Preliminary Assessment of Mating Disruption

<table>Percentage of mated (a) <i>L. botrana</i> and (b) <i>E. ambiguella </i>females in field cages (mesh size = 1500 <i>μ</i>m) containing no pheromone dispenser. The notation <i>μ</i>g/day represents approximately the daily emission rate of pheromone dispensers for (a) <i>L. botrana</i> and (b) <i>E. ambiguella</i>. Pest control schemes with different letters are significantly different (<svg height="11.0625" id="M41" style="vertical-align:-0.30096pt" version="1.1" viewbox="0 0 56.150002 11.0625" width="56.150002" xmlns="http://www.w3.org/2000/svg">
