Evaluation of Different Release Strategies for Use in Pink Bollworm Sterile Release Programs

Ernie Miller, Anna Lowe and Stacy Archuleta


 
ABSTRACT

Recapture rates of sterile PBW were not significantly different in cotton fields that received sterile releases in the evenings between 5 and 7PM and fields that received sterile releases in the morning between 6:00 and 9 AM.

Trap captures of native or sterile PBW moths were not significantly different between traps located 30 meters inside a cotton field and those located on the edge row of a cotton field. Furthermore, the sterile to native ratio of PBW moths captured in traps located inside the field was not different from traps placed on the field margin.
