Revisiting sweetpotato weevil sexual pheromone research and development: Scale-up synthesis of improved chemistry, field evaluation and integration into rational mass trapping devices for field application
Beschreibung:
Goal: Enhance food security, reduce poverty and improve human health through sustainable sweetpotato production and reduced use of pesticides. Purpose: Sweetpotato weevil population effectively controlled by the use of sex pheromones in innovative trapping devices. Long term: Sweetpotato production losses by Cylas sp. substantially reduced through the integration and effective use of sex pheromones in sweetpotato IPM in SSA and ESEAP.
