Summary: The objectives in this project were: 1. Establish a mechanism for the SIRP to move moths across the US/Canada border. 2. Determine the best method(s) for releasing SIRP moths to achieve desired results. 3. Evaluate the capability of SIRP moths to control codling moth in selected orchard situations – bin piles, orchard borders, hot spots in orchards, and late season orchard treatments.
