New method sheds light on insect sexual communication for crop protection

Original: Crop protection: A new method for understanding insect sexual communication

Researchers have developed a new method for studying how insects communicate sexually, according to Phys.org. The work could improve crop protection by helping farmers disrupt pest mating without heavy pesticide use. Details of the method, the team behind it and the species studied remain limited, but the pest-control potential is the main point of interest.
