Presentation
The link provides a PDF version of our presentation to the 35th Annual Long Island Forum titled ‘Emerging Insect Populations On Tree Fruit to Eastern NY.’
Many of the slides on Spotted Wing Drosophila and Black Stem Borer were donated by Greg Loeb’s Lab and Debbie Breth, WNT LOFT Team Leader, who have worked extensively in the field on these invasive insects. Many thanks to them for their hard work.
