Cultural control involves practices that reduce pest establishment, reproduction, dispersal, and survival. Examples include crop rotation, tillage, and the use of resistant varieties. Since the scenario described involves the use of pheromones, sterile male technique, and biological control agents (wasps), but does not mention any cultural practices, cultural control is the correct answer.
