Sexual performance of laboratory sterile Anastrepha obliqua males acclimated under field conditions

| description | Standard quality control tests were carried out to evaluate the sexual performance of laboratory sterile Anastrepha obliqua males acclimated under field conditions. Laboratory sterile males were maintained in a mango orchard in wooden cages for 0, 2, 4, 6 and 8 days before competing with wild males for matings with wild females in sexual performance tests. Laboratory males were evaluated at 8 days of age while wild males were 15 days old. This study was conducted to confirm whether insects kept as close as possible to natural conditions, obtain an advantage in their sexual performance with respect to males maintained under artificial conditions. The results of the study indicated that the mating proportion in the test was within SIT quality control standards and the relative sterility index values didn´t show significant differences between the different treatments. In conclusion the data indicates that the pre-conditioning of A. obliqua males to field conditions doesn’t give an advantage over non-conditioned males in sexual performance with wild females in field cages. |

Laboratory sterile males were maintained in a mango orchard in wooden cages for 0, 2, 4, 6 and 8 days before competing with wild males for matings with wild females in sexual performance tests.

Se evaluó por medio de pruebas estándar de control de calidad el desempeño sexual de machos de cría estériles de Anastrepha obliqua aclimatados bajo condiciones de campo. Machos estérilesde cría de laboratorio fueron mantenidos en un huerto de mango en jaulas de madera durante 0, 2, 4, 6 y 8 días antes de competir con machos silvestres por hembras silvestres en pruebas de desempeñosexual. Los machos de laboratorio fueron evaluados con 8 días de edad mientras los silvestres con 15 días. Este estudio fue conducido para confirmar si los insectos mantenidos lo más cerca posible a lascondiciones naturales, obtienen una ventaja en su desempeño sexual con respecto a machos mantenidos en condiciones artificiales. Los resultados del estudio indicaron que la proporción de apareamientos en la prueba fue satisfactoria y los valores del índice de esterilidad relativa no muestran diferencias significativas entre los distintos tratamientos. En conclusión los datos indican que el pre-condicionamiento de machos de A. obliqua a condiciones de campo no confiere una ventaja en el desempeño sexual con hembras silvestres en jaulas de campo, lo cual es ideal para los programas de liberación donde la técnica del insecto estéril es aplicada.
