No SWD has been reported, as of June 11, 2014, from any of the monitoring locations in New York. Any confirmed first trap catch SWD findings will once again be posted on the blog.
Current guidelines for managing SWD are to begin insecticide applications on vulnerable crops when fruit are ripening. Late-season blueberries, blackberries and fall raspberries are especially vulnerable to attack. Less vulnerable, but also at risk, are late season plums, peaches, cherries and grapes, and late harvest summer raspberries, early to mid-season blueberries, and early harvest day-neutral strawberries.
Insecticide table quick guides are linked below and available on the Spotted Wing Drosophila website on Cornell Fruit Resources, www.fruit.cornell.edu. If you are reading this from outside of New York, keep in mind that NY State may be more restrictive on labeling insecticides and there may be additional insecticide options available in your state; contact your local Extension Service for more information.
