The cabbage looper, Trichoplusia ni (T. ni), is a widespread pest of many vegetable crops. The larvae of this moth cause severe leaf damage if the moth population is high. One problem with T. ni is that it is one of the most insecticide resistant pests known. Therefore, it is of interest to develop alternative technologies, in which the insects are not killed directly but are deterred from feeding on their host plants. The Plettner group has discovered synthetic compounds that have activity against T. ni as non-insecticidal feeding deterrents. The compounds are promising candidates for new T. ni control tools, because they are easy to prepare and have advantageous physical properties. This proposal is for funding of a market study, to assess the importance of T. ni and the current control measures used against this insect in horticulture. The questions this study will address are: 1) the pests affecting horticulture, mainly in Canada; 2) the need for new insect pest control methods in horticulture (opportunity); 3) the interest of farmers in adopting new insect pest controls; 4) methods currently used; 5) problems with the current methods; 6) barriers to the development of the proposed new technology; 7) proposals to overcome the barriers; and 8) potential partners for development of the technology. The work plan will consist of: an initial consultation to confirm the objectives and revise the plan, a review of information available (including literature), compilation of a list of experts to be interviewed and of interview guidelines, conducting of interviews with the identified list of experts, estimation of the potential market size, a progress meeting, the identification of potential licensees, a survey of vegetable growers in a region (chosen based on previous results), a final consultation meeting and preparation of the final report.

甘蓝夜蛾Trichoplusia ni（T. ni）是许多蔬菜作物的广泛害虫。 这种蛾的幼虫造成严重的叶损害，如果蛾人口是高的。 T的一个问题。它是已知的最耐杀虫剂的害虫之一。 因此，开发替代技术是有意义的，其中昆虫不被直接杀死，而是被阻止以其宿主植物为食。 Plettner小组已经发现了对T. Ni作为非杀虫的摄食抑制剂。 这些化合物有望成为新T. Ni控制工具，因为它们易于制备并具有有利的物理性能。 这份提案是为了资助一项市场研究，以评估T。介绍了该虫在园艺生产中的危害及防治措施。 这项研究将解决的问题是：1）影响园艺的害虫，主要是在加拿大; 2）需要新的害虫控制方法在园艺（机会）; 3）农民对采用新的虫害控制的兴趣; 4）目前使用的方法; 5）现有方法的问题; 6）拟议的新技术的发展障碍; 7）克服障碍的建议; 8）技术开发的潜在合作伙伴。 工作计划将包括：初步协商，以确认目标和修订计划，审查现有资料，（包括文献），编制接受访谈的专家名单和访谈指南，与已确定的专家名单进行访谈，估计潜在市场规模，举行进度会议，确定潜在的许可证持有人，对一个地区的蔬菜种植者进行调查（根据以前的结果选择），举行最后协商会议，并编写最后报告。
