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
Project
Project code: 81123330
Contract period: 01.04.2010
- 31.03.2012
Budget: 60,000 Euro
Purpose of research: Basic research
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.
