Manipulation of Insect Reproductive Systems as a Tool in Pest Control

  • Chapter
  • First Online:
Advances in Insect Control and Resistance Management

Abstract

Insect pests must reproduce in order to exist. In sexual organisms, sperm and ova need to synchronically meet in a specific environment under conditions that may include temperature, time, food, day length, and many others. Mating events can therefore be predicted and as such open for manipulation.
