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

<table>Effect of the number of couples exposed on the percentage of <i>E. ambiguella</i> females mated in field cages (mesh size = 1500 <i>μ</i>m, containing no pheromone dispenser). The notation <i>μ</i>g/day represents the approximate daily emission rate of pheromone dispensers for <i>E. ambiguella</i>; data from the three insect control schemes were fitted with linear regression models.</table>
