Manipulation of insect reproductive systems as a tool in pest control

Abstract

Insect pests must reproduce in order to exist. In sexual organisms, sperm and ova need to synchronically meet in a specific environment under conditions that may include temperature, time, food, day length, and many others. Mating events can therefore be predicted and as such open for manipulation.
