Abstract
The mating frequency of the Indian meal moth, Plodia interpunctella (Hübner) and the almond moth, Cadra cautella (Walker) was population density dependent in the presence of synthetic sex pheromone. The pheromone substantially reduced population growth rates of these insects at low population densities.This publication has 0 references indexed in Scilit:
