35 SWD were caught in the four traps set in and around a planting of summer raspberries in Albany Country during the week ending July 2, 2018. Although zero SWD were caught at this location during the previous week, 20 males and 15 females were caught this week.
This is a significant number of SWD and signals that insecticide protection of the numerous ripe berries at this location should begin. Don't hesitate to undertake all manner of management tactics against this destructive insect:
Natasha Field, Eastern NY Commercial Horticulture Program, is monitoring the traps at this location.
