Breakthrough in Gypsy Moth Control from USDA Team
A U S D A team reports a new approach to curb the gypsy moth, a destructive forest pest. The discovery centers on a highly potent sex attractant from females that lures males from far away, offering potential use in traps, sterilization, or mating disruption to reduce reproduction and spread. The insect has plagued Northeastern timberlands since 1800s introductions, costing over $100 million and threatening wildlife habitat and erosion.
