2 SWD females were caught on July 3, 2017 in a raspberry planting, 1 in a trap set within the planting and 1 in a trap set on the edge of the planting. These traps are being serviced by Jan Beglinger, extension educator, Genesee County Cornell Cooperative Extension. Insect identification is being done in by Nicole Mattoon, IPM field technician, and Taylere Herrmann, IPM summer technician, NYS IPM Program.
If your berries are ripe and SWD is being caught in your area, it is time to begin management tactics to protect the crop.
