Efforts to disrupt winterform re-entry using repellents or attractants
Author: David Horton
Published: 2013
Summary: This projects objectives were: Develop approaches to disrupt colonization of orchards by post-diapause winterforms (repellents) and to delay mating of colonists following arrival (pheromone). Determine whether SPLAT products developed by ISCA and shown to repel other psyllids can be used to disrupt re-entry by returning winterform psylla. Determine whether saturation of atmosphere with 13-MeC27 pheromone slows mating by returning colonists.
