Confirmed sustained catch occurred in Cayuga County on July 3, 2017 in ripe summer raspberries. 4 SWD were caught in 4 traps, 2 females in traps set within the planting and 1 female and 1 male in traps set on the crop edge. These traps are being monitored by Nicole Mattoon, IPM field technician, and Taylere Herrmann, IPM summer technician, with my fruit IPM program in the 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.
