Research abstract
Here we propose to develop a revolutionary tool for the control of CFW, BHFW, and SFW at the adult stage: our Specialized Pheromone & Lure Application Technology (SPLAT ®) for cranberry fruitworm (SPLAT CFW), blackheaded fireworm (SPLAT BHFW), and Sparganothis fruitworm (SPLAT SFW); a long-lasting, flowable, amorphous formulation that can be mechanically applied using conventional spray equipment for the controlled release of CFW,BHFW, and SFW sex pheromones, respectively, to effect mating disruption. It is critical to develop these three formulations into one multi-targeted formulation, as the pests most often occur together, and an insecticide control action for one pest has an effect on all three and would render an application of a mating disruptant for another pest redundant.?
