Mating disruption of oriental beetle was demonstrated on 6 farms over 2 years. Evidence of mating disruption is derived from severely reduced baited trap catch in pheromone treated fields and lack of mating of virgin tethered females. Successful mating disruption resulted from a sprayable microencapsulated pheromone and retreivable ChemTica dispenser formulations
