昆虫不育技术（SIT）在很大程度上取决于生产高质量的不育雄性昆虫，并将其释放到目标野生种群中。通过质量参数的生物测定系统来保证质量，这些参数反映了昆虫的生存能力，与环境的相互作用，以及定位，交配和使目标种群的雌性受精。该系统的开发是通过划分所涉及物种的基本生存和交配行为，然后开发一系列测试来确认这些行为特征存在于大规模饲养的昆虫中。该系统还具有反馈回路，以在系统的生产部分中的问题变得明显之前对其进行纠正。然而，需要在半自然条件下定期进行田间或田间笼试验，其中不育雄性必须与野生雄性竞争野生雌性，以最终保证不育昆虫在释放后有能力完成其使命。
The sterile insect technique (SIT) depends greatly on the production of good quality sterile male insects that are released into target wild populations. Quality is assured through a system of bioassays of quality parameters that reflect the insect’s ability to survive, interact with its environment, and locate, mate and fertilize females of the target population. The system was developed by compartmentalizing the essential survival and mating behaviours of the species involved, and then developing a series of tests to confirm that these behavioural traits are present in the mass-reared insects. The system also has a feedback loop to correct problems in the production portion of the system before they become evident. Nevertheless, regular implementation of field or field-cage tests under semi-natural conditions, where sterile males have to compete with wild males for wild females, is required to provide the ultimate assurance that the sterile insects have the ability to fulfil their mission after release.
