Disruption of gypsy moth mating with microencapsulated disparlure

E A Cameron et al. Science. .

Abstract

Broadcast applications of microencapsulated disparlure at rates of 2.5 to 15.0 grams per hectare are capable of reducing successful mating of wild gypsy moths under field conditions. In test plots, population densities were as high as 32 pairs of pupae in an area of about 700 square meters.
