The Okanagan-Kootenay Sterile Insect Release Program (OKSIR) is an environmentally friendly initiative focused on managing codling moth populations across the Okanagan, Similkameen, and Shuswap Valleys. Since its founding in 1992, the program has successfully reduced both the codling moth population and pesticide use by approximately 90%, fostering a healthier fruit industry in British Columbia. By raising and releasing sterile moths into commercial orchards, OKSIR disrupts the mating process of codling moths, significantly mitigating their impact on fruit crops. The program collaborates closely with local growers and residents to promote sustainable pest management practices in the region. Generated from the website
