我们讨论了双性吸引和杀死的原理，其中雌性和雄性都被吸引剂（例如与有毒物质结合的植物挥发物混合物）作为目标。虽然这一策略的优势在一个多世纪以来就已经显现出来，但农民可以将其纳入害虫综合防治计划的产品却很少。我们描述了这样一种产品 Magnet(A(R)) 的开发、注册和商业化，该产品针对澳大利亚棉花中的棉铃虫和 H. punctigera。我们提倡采用经验而非理论的方法来选择和混合此类产品的植物挥发物，并强调在生态现实的时间和空间尺度上进行实地研究的重要性。还讨论了杀虫剂伴侣所需的特性。我们描述了为 Magnet(A (R)) 产品注册提供数据所需的研究。其中包括功效证据，包括对目标害虫的局部和大范围影响、非目标影响以及消费者和施药者的安全。在商业发展所需的十年里，由于转基因抗虫棉在澳大利亚的广泛采用，Magnet(A(R))的目标市场已经大大缩小。我们讨论了转基因棉花以及棉花和其他作物中其他害虫的抗性管理的潜在应用。
We discuss the principles of bisexual attract-and-kill, in which females as well as males are targeted with an attractant, such as a blend of plant volatiles, combined with a toxicant. While the advantages of this strategy have been apparent for over a century, there are few products available to farmers for inclusion in integrated pest management schemes. We describe the development, registration, and commercialization of one such product, Magnet(A (R)), which was targeted against Helicoverpa armigera and H. punctigera in Australian cotton. We advocate an empirical rather than theoretical approach to selecting and blending plant volatiles for such products, and emphasise the importance of field studies on ecologically realistic scales of time and space. The properties required of insecticide partners also are discussed. We describe the studies that were necessary to provide data for registration of the Magnet(A (R)) product. These included evidence of efficacy, including local and area-wide impacts on the target pest, non-target impacts, and safety for consumers and applicators. In the decade required for commercial development, the target market for Magnet(A (R)) has been greatly reduced by the widespread adoption of transgenic insect-resistant cotton in Australia. We discuss potential applications in resistance management for transgenic cotton, and for other pests in cotton and other crops.
