Efficacy of ground-applied SPLAT(R) GM treatments against gypsy moth

We developed a method for ground application of SPLAT® GM pheromone formulation against gypsy moth. The study was conducted in 2011 - 2014 in Goshen Wildlife Management Area, VA[UTM 637052 E, 4223294 N to 614250 E, 4192715 N, NAD 27, zone 17], and in 2016 in Blacksburg, VA [UTM 553841 E, 4121358 N, zone 17]. We observed that the dosages of 49.4 and 123.6 g AI/ha applied to 11x11 regular grids reduced trap catches by >90% compared to untreated control.

本研究团队研发了一种针对舞毒蛾的SPLAT® GM信息素配方的地面应用方法。该研究于2011年至2014年在弗吉尼亚州的戈申野生动物管理区（UTM坐标系：637052 E，4223294 N至614250 E，4192715 N，NAD 27，区域17）进行，并在2016年在弗吉尼亚州的布莱克斯堡开展。研究发现，将49.4克和123.6克AI/公顷的剂量应用于11x11米的常规网格中，与未处理对照组相比，诱捕器的捕获量降低了超过90%。
