Abstract

BS>Preliminary results are reported from studies on the effectiveness of the release of adult South American fruit flies (Anastrepha fracterculus) exposed to 6 kr gamma radiation while pupae for the control of insect populations. Dispersion studies were carried out using adults marked with colored fluorescent powders. The number of adults captured 7 and 14 days following release in a citrus plantation or peach orchard was determined as a factor of distance from the point of release. (CH)
