    Abstract: Vertisols are a group of heavy-textured soils which occur extensively in the tropics, subtropics and warm temperate zones and are known as Dark Clays, Black Earths, Black Cotton soils, Dark Cracking soils, Grumusols and Regurs in other classification systems. Approximately 310 million ha of these soils in Asia (mostly in India), in America (mostly ... Show More

    Abstract: The sterile male technique (SIT), an autocidal, biological technique that respects the environment, is an efficient tool for tsetse flies eradication. This method requires many sterilized male flies released for mating with wild virgin female flies. The mass production of male flies by rearing in the laboratory and the supply of pupae is becoming m... Show More
