The
Okanagan-Kootenay Sterile Insect Release Program (OK
SIR) is a highly successful area-wide community
initiative that applies nature-friendly technology to
the control of codling moth, the BC tree fruit
industry's most damaging and costly pest.
The
goal of the OK SIR is to control codling moth to the
point where no control interventions are required in
commercial orchards and their surrounding areas in the
participating fruit growing regions of the Okanagan,
Similkameen, and Shuswap Valleys.
Thank you for your patience. We are updating our website.
