As SWD has now been trapped in most locations across the state, and fruit begins to blush, it’s time to be sure to keep a tight control schedule in any orchard with SWD pressure.

This webinar was organized by LOF and NYS IPM and sponsored by Valent and FMC.

We discuss the best management tactics to combine control for SWD and Rhagoletis fruit flies in cherry and other crops.

Agenda:

12:00 - Intro, sponsorship, SWD biology basics – Janet van Zoeren, Lake Ontario Fruit Program

12:10 - SWD management in tart cherry – Julie Carroll, NYS IPM Program

12:25 - Managing cherry fruit fly, black cherry fruit fly, and European cherry fruit fly – Art Agnello, Department of Entomology

12:45 - Questions and answers

Timing of talks will be relatively flexible and fluid, but we'll make sure to leave plenty of time for Q and A.

This event was free, but pre-registration was required. If you missed it, you can now listen to the webinar as if you were there!

Organized by Lake Ontario Fruit program and NYS IPM. Proudly sponsored by FMC and Valent USA.
