SWD has been caught in a trap set in woods adjacent to a blueberry plantation in eastern Schuyler County by Greg Loeb's lab, Dept of Entomology, Cornell University. One male and one female were caught during the week preceding July 11; four males and four females were caught during the week preceding July 17. The time for concern about this difficult-to-control invasive insect is upon us. Carefully planned strategies for management of SWD should be developed, especially for late summer and fall fruit crops. (As of July 11, accumulated GDD 1247, day length 15:01)
