Influence of overflooding ratios on fruit damage and population growth of <i>Thaumatotibia leucotreta</i> (Meyrick): implications for the sterile insect technique program

20251 citationOpen accessRhodes University

Abstract

The study demonstrated that the 40:1 and 60:1 ratios were particularly effective, indicating that maintaining this ratio could significantly reduce the growth of the T. leucotreta fertile population, relative to lower ratios, albeit still effective. © 2025 The Author(s).
