Insect Science, EarlyView.Abstract The Sterile Insect Technique (SIT) is an environmentally friendly, sustainable pest control approach, which uses large‐scale releases of sterile insects to suppress or eradicate target populations through infertile matings. The efficiency of SIT is enhanced by male‐only releases requiring genetic sexing strains (GSSs) that are classically ...

Influence of olive fruit fly attack on quality and composition of ‘Rosinjola’ virgin olive oil
Acta Horticulturae, 2018 In this work the influence of olive fruit fly (Bactrocera oleae (Rossi)) attack on the quality of ´Rosinjola’ cv. virgin olive oil (free fatty acids, peroxide value, specific extinction on 232 and 270 nm, and sensory evaluation) as well as on the fatty acid and volatile composition was investigated.
