Application of Nuclear Techniques to Improve the Mass Production and Management of Fruit Fly Parasitoids
The use of irradiated hosts in mass rearing tephritid parasitoids represents an important technical advance in fruit fly augmentative biological control. Irradiation assures that fly emergence is avoided in non-parasitized hosts, while at the same time it has no appreciable effect on parasitoid qual...
