摘要:The Nuclear Ins titute of Agriculture(NIA) with the collaboration of the International Atomic Energy Agency(IAEA) has introduced "Male Annihilation Technique" (MAT) to control the fruit fly . MAT is economical, non-pollu ting, non-hazardous, environment friendly, less laborious technology that fulfills the demands of WTO for exporting agricultural commodities. Despite all theseadvantages offered by MAT, it has failed to reach at the maximum level of adoption among the growers of Pakistan particularly of Sindh province.
