| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
Mating disruption is a pest management technique that has a low environmental impact and is, therefore, considered to be a key technique in the development of integrated pest management systems. However, in some cases, the effect of this technique is not stable, especially in open field applications. The results of this study suggest that the efficacy of the mating disruption technique is significantly related to geological features. Mating disruption was found to be particularly less effective in the field location in a ridge area. Our study further suggests that the effect of this mating disruption technique could be maximized over the target area if the dosage of the mating disruption agent is managed in consideration of the geographical features of the area.
