Summary: This project examined the combination of Mating Disruption and Sterile Insect Release and found reduced damage from codling moth in all treatments. Other significant findings included a 98% reduction in sterile/wild mating in mating disruption orchards, higher parasitism rates when parasitoids were released into the canopy, and no correlation was found between the presence of granulosus virus in adlt females and fecundity.
