Sterile insect technique (SIT) is an environmentally benign pest management technique that relies on released sterile male insects mating with, and curtailing reproduction of, wild females. However, for species with high mortality rates and long adult maturation phases, a large proportion of the released insects can die before maturing and so fail to contribute to SIT. To counter this problem, inclusion...
BACKGROUND
Raspberry ketone (RK) is highly attractive to sexually mature, but not immature, males of many Bactrocera species, including Queensland fruit fly (‘Qfly’, Bactrocera tryoni), and acts as a metabolic enhancer in a wide diversity of animals. We considered the possibility that, as a metabolic enhancer, RK in adult diet might accelerate sexual maturation of male Qflies.
