Three female SWD were caught, one per trap, in a Monroe County summer raspberry planting in the week ending July 21, 2014 by Jacob Robinson, summer technician in Juliet Carroll's Fruit IPM Program. The summer raspberries are ripe and nearing the end of harvest. Because this planting is adjacent to a blueberry planting, it will be important to carefully plan an insecticide management program to protect the ripening blueberries. (Accumulated GDD 1296; day length 14:50)
