Four male and 10 female SWD were caught on Monday, July 27, 2015 in traps set in red raspberry in Monroe County. All four traps at the site caught SWD. For berry crops that are at risk of infestation, it will be important to plan a spray program and sanitation program to protect ripening fruit. Cool fruit (32-33 F) as soon as possible after harvest to delay or stop development of SWD. This information, and more, is available on the SWD Management page on Cornell Fruit Resources. (GDD = 1590, day length = 14:40)
