Title : Uses of gamma irradiation for controlling insect pests

Abstract:

Because of heavy dependence on using chemical pesticides for pest control all over the world, resistance have developed in many insect species. As a result, we are continuously in search of innovative methods to control pests. One of the promising methods is the use of gamma radiation to affect the reproductive ability of pest insects. Radiation causes changes in the chromosomes that affect the insect reproductive capability. Also, Food irradiation is a technology that improves the safety and extends the shelf life of foods by reducing or eliminating microorganisms and insects. Like pasteurizing milk and canning fruits and vegetables, irradiation can make food safer for the consumer.
