Area of Science:

Entomology
Insect Physiology
Pest Management

Background:

Insect diapause is a crucial survival mechanism.
Controlling diapause has applications in pest management and research.
Existing methods for diapause manipulation are diverse.

Purpose of the Study:

To review known methods for disrupting and manipulating insect diapause.
To highlight chemical and physical agents affecting diapause.
To explore potential applications in pest control and insect rearing.

Main Methods:

Literature review of diapause disruptors and inducers.
Categorization of chemical agents (hormones, solvents, toxins, etc.).
Categorization of physical manipulations (light, temperature, anoxia, etc.).

Main Results:

Insect hormones effectively break or extend diapause.
Various chemical agents (e.g., DMSO, heavy metals, CO2) disrupt diapause.
Physical methods (e.g., light, heat shock, anoxia) also influence diapause.

Conclusions:

A wide array of tools exists to manipulate insect diapause.
These tools offer potential for novel pest management strategies.
Applications include on-demand diapause termination and long-term storage of insect lines.
