6 Outline I. Introductions II. Spotted Wing Drosophila A. Background B. Monitoring C. Management D. Future III. New Invasive?

7 Spotted Wing Drosophila Photos: Dr. Martin Hauser

8 Invasion Timeline Detected in CA strawberries, identified as Drosophila spp. no concern Detected in OR, WA, and FL Detected throughout New England and Mid Atlantic CA samples Identified as D. suzukii Detected in NC, SC, UT, LA, MI, WI, and eastern Canada Detected throughout the Midwest

9 SWD Detections Updated from Burrack et al Cini et al. 2012

10 SWD Life Cycle Generation time (adult to adult): days Adults can live 1+ month No known diapause Pupate on or near fruit or outside of fruit in the soil Slide from Dr. Hannah Burrack NC State

11 Some SWD Hosts Southern Wisconsin Mid- Atlantic, British Colombia and Northern Italy

12 Damage to Cherries

18 Monitoring Larvae Soak gently crushed berries in salt or sugar water solution E.g. 2 cups water 1.5 tbsp non-iodized salt for 10 mins

19 Monitoring Larvae Pouring water through sieves can help Also keeping berries for 1-2 days in a warm place

20 Monitoring Adults Traps can be made out of any kind of container

34 SWD Risk Remember trap captures tend to be catching adults after there are larvae in fruit Probably some earlier damage but not enough to be noticeable Populations begin to pick up in August getting worse throughout the fall

35 Differences in Varieties? variety: F 18,435 =2.28, p = ; date, year random Slide from Dr. Hannah Burrack NC State

36 Primocane Fruiting Type variety: F 18,435 =2.28, p = ; date, year random Slide from Dr. Hannah Burrack NC State

37 Floricane Fruiting Type variety: F 18,435 =2.28, p = ; date, year random Slide from Dr. Hannah Burrack NC State

38 SWD Management Currently is pesticide intensive Could plant earlier ripening varieties to avoid some SWD risk

39 SWD Management Insecticides only target adults

40 SWD Management If fruit is already infested surviving larvae will replace the adults

50 Preventing Infestation? Few of these products show rainfastness Must get good coverage, avoid rain, and apply frequently

51 Secondary Issues Broad spectrum insecticide applications targeting SWD are flaring secondary pests E.g. mites, scales, white flies

52 Outline I. Introductions II. Spotted Wing Drosophila A. Background B. Monitoring C. Management D. Future III. New Invasive?

53 Biological Control? Some wasp parasitoids and predatory insects Currently not providing control

54 Exclusion? Feasible and economic?

55 Improved Attractants? Bait formulation for insecticide (attract and kill) Improved attractant for mass trapping

56 Bait Sprays Can be more effective and sustainable GF-120 (Dow Bait Spray) Tephritid fruit fly bait mixed with 0.02% spinosad

58 Spotted Lanternfly Confirmed overwintering in PA Sep 22, 2014

59 Spotted Lanternfly Most likely to impact grape, fruit tree, and logging industries

60 Spotted Lanternfly Lay their eggs on tree bark

61 Spotted Lanternfly Nymphs become active in April to May

62 Spotted Lanternfly Currently a quarantine pest We don t know if it will cause commercial damage

63 Spotted Lanternfly Report it if you spot it Try to prevent damage from a new invasive
