Abstract

This preliminary study highlights the compatibility between radiogenic method with the microbial insecticide. It's a proposal that SIT and F1 sterility techniques could be integrated with other microbial insecticides like Bti to control the mosquito population in the emergency situation or in high epidemic region as both the methods are compatible.
