Mating disruption of <i>Chilo suppressalis</i> (Lepidoptera: Crambidae) with novel aerosol dispensers in rice field
The novel dispenser effectively diffused and retained sex pheromones in rice fields, reducing C. suppressalis female sex pheromone secretion, and mating success. Consequently, the amount of eggs laid by C. suppressalis females in the field was strikingly reduced, leading to decreased number of larvae and reduced damage in rice plants. The findings highlight MD as a sustainable alternative to insecticides for managing C. suppressalis population. © 2025 Society of Chemical Industry.
