“…Similar studies on the litchi stem-end borer, Conopomorpha sinensis Bradley (Lepidoptera: Gracillariidae), indicated that a dose of 200 Gy was sufficient to induce complete sterility in females, whereas males irradiated with 300 Gy still had a residual fertility of 0.67%. A dose of 250 Gy applied to P generation males resulted in complete sterility in F 1 males (Fu et al 2016, in this special issue).…”

“…Competition of irradiated C. sinensis males for mates with wild males was studied in field cages by Fu et al (2016, in this special issue). By processing these data with the formula of Fried (1971), the authors derived a mean competitiveness C value of 0.48, when 250 Gy-treated male C. sinensis were competing with similar numbers of untreated males for untreated females, indicating that a sub-sterilizing dose of 250 Gy would be adequate for programs that include an IS component.…”

Lepidopteran species are amongst the most damaging pests of food and fiber crops worldwide. Pest lepidopterans are often managed injudiciously by spraying crops with large amounts of broad-spectrum-and often-persistent insecticides. In view of increased occurrence of resistance against these insecticides, and their negative impacts on the environment and ecosystems, the need for control tactics that are not only effective but also friendlier to the environment is becoming more and more pressing. Both the sterile insect technique (SIT), and the related inherited sterility (IS) technique offer great potential as additional control tactics for integration with other control methods in area-wide integrated pest management approaches against lepidopteran pests. However the SIT/IS can only be applied successfully when the released sterile insects can effectively compete with their wild counterparts for mating with wild females. Although there are a number of programs where the SIT has been used very effectively against key lepidopteran pests, there is great potential for further expansion of the SIT/IS technology to target other key lepidopteran pests, or to improve the SIT/IS for already targeted Lepidoptera. Such expansion could be facilitated through improvements of mass-rearing, measurement and control of quality, handling, irradiation, shipping, release and field assessment technologies that would increase program efficiency and efficacy. To foster such advances, the Joint FAO/IAEA Division of Nuclear Techniques in Food and Agriculture, implemented a Coordinated Research Project (CRP) from 2008 to 2014 entitled "Increasing the efficiency of Lepidoptera SIT by enhanced quality control". This Project organized and sponsored research and development on the following key objectives: (1) identify and investigate factors and variables affecting the quality of the produced and released insects and their field performance, (2) identify and develop new tools and methods to assess and predict the field performance of sterile insects, and (3) improve the artificial rearing of several moth species through a better understanding and management of genetic resources. The key research outputs of the CRP are summarized in this paper.

“…In a previous study, females irradiated with 200 Gy did not oviposit when mated with non-irradiated males (Fu et al 2016), indicating that 200 Gy was the lowest fully sterilizing dose for females, and 200 Gy was confirmed to be the dose needed to induce complete sterility in the F 1 generation offspring from the parental cross untreated female (UF) × treated male (TM). Radiation-induced partial sterility of the litchi stemend borer was shown to be inherited in at least 3 consecutive generations beginning with the parental males that were irradiated with 150 Gy as pupae shortly before emergence.…”
