What Methods are Used to Control the LBAM Population?
A variety of methods may be used singly or in combination to eradicate LBAM, including biological controls in combination with chemical pesticides. Examples of bio-control include a number of measures that cause LBAM populations to stop reproducing. Methods showing promise are the saturation of the infested area with an LBAM-specific pheromone or the release of sterile moths into the wild LBAM population. In each situation, the mating patterns are disrupted and the insect populations collapse over a few generations. For more information on pest management techniques, visit click here.
