The Sterile Insect Technique (SIT) involves releasing a large number of sterile male insects into a specific area, where they mate with wild females, leading to sterility and a reduction in the population. The effectiveness of this method is linked to the ratio of sterile males to fertile males. By releasing sterile males, there is often a significant surplus of sterile over wild males, creatin...
