Excerpt from Using Mating Disruption to Manage Gypsy Moth<br/><br/>The gypsy moth is univoltine, that is, has one generation per year, and the mating season occurs over a 3-6 week period in late summer. Most mating normally occurs daily between 1000-1700 hours. Some males mate more than once, and some of the males do not mate at all (mastro A small portion (about of the females in dense populations, and an unknown but probably small percentage in sparse populations, mate more than once. Females are capable of high pheromone release rates for 3 days but then their ability to release pheromone and mate decreases. Once mated, females stop releasing pheromone and begin ovipositing. Umnated females near the end of their life will lay unfertilized eggs.

Paperback. Zustand: New. Print on Demand. This book chronicles the history of mating disruption, a revolutionary insect control technique designed to manage populations of the invasive gypsy moth. The authorsâ"a collective of governmental and private sector expertsâ"provide a comprehensive overview of the techniqueâs development from its inception in the early 1970s to the latest advancements. Through scientific explanations and descriptive accounts of field trials, the book illustrates the technique's gradual refinement, including improvements in pheromone formulations, application methods, and monitoring protocols. It also explores potential limitations of the method and unforeseen challenges encountered along the way. With its focus on the ongoing optimization of mating disruption for gypsy moth management, this book provides valuable insights into the complexities of insect population management and the resilience of invasive species.
