One male SWD was caught in a trap set in a small blueberry planting in Livingston County. The traps were checked on June 8, 2020. Plants were at petal fall when traps were serviced last week. These traps are being monitored by Dave Thorp, Livingston County Cornell Cooperative Extension.
Plants aren’t susceptible to SWD until fruit are changing color and nearing ripeness. Brush up on SWD Management, http://fruit.cornell.edu/spottedwing/management/ on Cornell Fruit Resources.
