A compound third chromosome strain of D. melanogaster was evaluated for population control potential in the laboratory and field. In the laboratory, the compound strain can replace a wild-type strain at release ratios above 4 compounds: 1 wild-type, but the compound strain proved to be ineffective in the field because of an inability to utilize tomatoes for oviposition sites.
