Develop a "Lure and Infest" strategy for application of entomopathogenic fungus for control of pepper weevil in Greenhouses - Phase 1
FY 2018-19 · 2018-04-02
Summary
Crop Defenders Ltd. is developing an innovative strategy and device to be used for pepper weevil suppression involving luring the pest and disseminating entomopathogenic fungi._x000D_
The project will require in-depth investigation on the horizontal transmission of conidia between individuals in the laboratory, and require the development of a longer lasting pheromone. We will experiment for the ‘attract/lure and infect/kill’ strategy, and integrate the attract/lure and infect/kill strategy with other control strategies. Finally, we will develop a fundamental initial prototype of an autodissemination device. _x000D_

Description (French)
Crop Defenders Ltd. est en train de développer une stratégie novatrice et un appareil à être utilisé pour la suppression du charançon du poivron impliquant la stratégie d'attirer le parasite et distribuer des champignons entomopathogène. Le projet nécessitera une enquête approfondie sur la transmission horizontale de conidies entre les personnes dans le laboratoire, et exigera le développement d'une phéromone plus durable. Nous allons expérimenter avec la stratégie « attirer et infecter/tuer », et intégrera la stratégie « attirer et infecter/tuer » avec d’autres stratégies de contrôle. Enfin, nous allons développer un prototype initial fondamental d’un appareil de diffusion automatique.
