SPLAT (ISCA Technologies, Inc. Riverside CA, U.S.A.), a proprietary amorphous biodegradable emulsified semiochemical dispenser containing semiochemicals formulated with and without small amounts of insecticide has proven economical, adaptable, easy to apply, and highly effective in controlling Lepidoptera populations pests of row crops, orchards and forests. A single application of SPLAT promotes sustained, frequently season long, population suppression to well below economic threshold levels.
