| dc.description | The Joint Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations/International Atomic Energy Agency (FAO/IAEA) Division of Nuclear Techniques in Food and Agriculture is a global leader in the development and implementation of the sterile insect technique (SIT) and related biologically-based pest management technologies. The SIT is a type of birth control for insects, involving the mass-rearing and sterilization of large numbers of the target pest insect and the releasing of sterile male insect over target areas. The SIT is environmentally friendly and therefore a more sustainable method to manage populations of major insect pests of crops, animals and humans. | |
