Low-dose ionizing radiation augmenting the reproductive fitness of radio-sterilized moths, <i>Spodoptera litura</i> (Fabr.): an approach toward increasing the efficiency of ‘Inherited Sterility technique’ for Lepidopteran pest control

These findings indicate that radiation hormesis might be employed as promising mode to enhance the reproductive viability of the radio-sterilized male moths to be used in this nuclear tactic.
