Title:
METHODS AND PRODUCT FOR REDUCING THE POPULATION SIZE OF PAPILIO DEMOLEUS L. (PAPILIONIDAE)
Document Type and Number:
WIPO Patent Application WO/2011/092600
Kind Code:
A3
Abstract:
The methods, kits, and products for controlling a target insect population are disclosed in which a non-host plant containing a toxin and a chemical attractant known to attract the target insect is treated with chemical attractant from a plant of interest. The chemical attractant induces the target insect to lay eggs on the non-host plant. The resulting offspring die of starvation from refusing to feed on the non-host plant. The non-host plant and plant of interest contain at least one common chemical. The methods, kits, and products for controlling a target insect population using an extract from a non-host plant are also disclosed. The non-host plant extract is applied to the plant of interest, and when ingested or applied directly to the target insect, kills the target insect or causes it to develop with deformities.
