“…This ignores the effects of density-dependent regulation on pest control, which can be considerable (Barclay and Mackauer, 1980;Barclay, 1984;Barclay, 1987b). Similar results emerge from a variety of different model structures (Barclay, 1987a;Barclay, 1987d;Barclay, 1988) and appear not to depend greatly on model structure, but rather to be attributes of the systems being modelled. This is done at the expense of realism since seasonality is ignored.…”

“…Based on the predictions made in the Introduction, based on previously observed patterns (Barclay, 1987a;1987d) this is surprising since sterile releases and pheromone trapping should be too similar in their mode of action to display complementarity.

Four pest control models which combine sterile releases with trapping are analyzed. The traps are baited with either female sex pheromone or food and may contain either insecticides or sterilants. The efficiency for control or eradication is greater when control methods are used in combination than when either control method is used in isolation. The most efficient combination for pest species with high fertility rates is the release of steriles together with the use of pheromone traps containing steriiant. For pest species with very low fertility rates and high survivorship, such as tsetse, sterile releases combined with food traps containing insecticides are most efficient.Resume-Sont analyses quatre modeles de Iutte contre les especes nuisibies, modeles qui combinent le relachement d'individus steriles et 1'emploi de pieges.

“…We hypothesise that the combination of these two techniques is much more efficient than the use of either alone since they mutually complement each other (Barclay, 1987;Knipling, 1998a,b). Based on these data, we will continue research on the use of SIT against L. trifolii populations in greenhouses, and determine the feasibility and efficacy of the combination of the SIT with the augmentative release of the parasitoid Diglyphus isaea for L. trifolii control.…”

Liriomyza trifolii is a serious pest of chrysanthemum greenhouses and other crops around the world. The larvae feed within the leaves of the host plants and create serpentine mines. The Sterile Insect Technique (SIT) has been successfully used against some Dipteran species in the field, and it is especially efficient against isolated populations like those on islands. Therefore, SIT against pest populations in confined environments such as greenhouses should have high potential for success. The objectives of this study were to determine the optimum gamma-irradiation dosage required for the sterilisation of L. trifolii adults, and to determine the quality (emergence percentage, flight ability, longevity, copulatory success, and sperm transfer) of the irradiated males compared with that of non-irradiated (normal) males. We found that sterility (< 0.7 mine per female) was achieved with the dose of 170 ± 5% Gy. The copulatory success and sperm transfer during copulation of the sterile males were not significantly different from those of normal males. Moreover, the longevity, emergence percentage and flight ability of irradiated males were also not significantly different from normal males. The SIT experiments suggest that the release of sterile L. trifolii can significantly reduce the reproductive capacity of a wild leafminer population. Our studies indicate that sterilisation of L. trifolii flies is feasible and that sterile males are of high quality and competitive with normal males. Based on these data, research on the use of SIT against L. trifolii populations in greenhouses is ongoing.

“…In addition, the SIT combines well with other control tactics such as parasitoids and the combination can even be synergistic where tactics interact positively . Bi-sex sterile moth releases and egg parasitoid inundation may exhibit greater complementarity than other combinations of methods, since their optimal action is at opposite ends of the host density spectrum and they do not in any way interfere with each other unless adult hosts are parasitized (Barclay 1987). Genetic modification can target marking or sterility of Lepidoptera, which could accelerate response and eradication outcomes (Simmons et al 2007;Thomas et al 2000).…”

Global range expansion of pest Lepidoptera requires socially acceptable solutions

Caterpillars of key moth pests can cause significant losses in cropping systems worldwide, and globalization is spreading such pests. Failure to control some species can jeopardise the economics of food production. A Global Eradication and Response Database (http://b3.net.nz/gerda) was reviewed on known government-level incursion response programs specific to invasive Lepidoptera. Geographic range expansion of Lepidoptera was evident from 144 incursion response programs targeting 28 species in 10 families. The countries involved in responses to Lepidoptera were USA (104), Australia (8), Canada (7), New Zealand (6), Italy (3), Mexico (2), with the remainder with one programme each (Brazil, Czech Republic, France, Hungary, and Spain). Most programs have been undertaken since the 1990’s. Control options exist for the long-term management of Lepidoptera, but most have issues of cost, efficacy or non-target impacts that reduce their acceptance. Pheromone-based technologies are increasingly available and are generally highly compatible with other tactics. The development of tactics for new targets is a major undertaking, although previous programs can be invaluable. New and improved socially-acceptable technologies are needed to counteract range expansion in Lepidoptera, and usually need to be used in combinations to achieve eradication. The sterile insect technique, which involves mass-rearing and release of sterile insects to reduce wild populations of the pest, has been used successfully against a number of lepidopteran species. Several sterile moth programs are under development. New technologies must have a social license to operate in urban areas, where new incursions are frequently detected. This factor is likely to reduce tactical flexibility and increase the complexity of insect eradication.
