From Cathy Heidenreich, Extension berry specialist mcm4@cornell.edu
July 12, 2012. 1 male SWD was caught in an apple cider vinegar trap in Tompkins County near a wood where a wild host species (Twinberry) was present this week. No SWD larvae were found in the twinberry fruit nor any adults or larvae found in a nearby blueberry crop.
Growers should be monitoring for adults in small fruit plantings and keeping plantings as cleanly harvested as possible. For more information visit the Cornell Fruit Spotted Wing Drosophila alert page.
