Gamma radiation from isotopic sources has been used in sterile insect technique (SIT) programs worldwide, but it might be difficult to continue using these sources in future SIT programs because of social issues. Therefore, an alternative sterilization source to gamma rays, such as X-rays, needs to be developed. The physical properties of radiation are different between gamma rays and X-rays: for example, X-rays have a shorter penetration depth than gamma rays. Therefore, X-rays may not fully confer male sterility, depending on the target pest insects. The present study investigated whether the West-Indian sweetpotato weevilEuscepes postfasciatus(Fairmaire) and the sweetpotato weevilCylas formicarius(Fabricius) are sterilized by X-rays generated in a low-energy X-ray irradiator, without deterioration of male mating ability, at the doses currently used in the eradication programs forE. postfasciatus(150 Gy) andC. formicarius(200 Gy) using gamma rays at Okinawa, Japan. The results demonstrated that it is possible to use X-rays in future SIT programs forE. postfasciatusandC. formicarius, because X-ray irradiated males were almost completely sterilized without deterioration of their mating ability.
