Workshop: ASHS meets SWD: A New Pest of Small and Stone Fruits *CEU Approved

Objective(s):
1) Educate students, technicians, extension agents and faculty about this new invasive pest, Spotted Wing Drosophila (SWD), to facilitate their communications with the industry and public. 2) Provide hands-on experience to learn identification and detection of SWD 3) Provide management options for SWD
A new invasive pest of small and stone fruit crops has been causing economic damage in North America and Europe. The spotted wing drosophila (SWD), Drosophila suzukii, is a vinegar fly that infests ripe fruit. The biology, life cycle, global impact, management, and current and future research will be discussed. A hands-on education session on adult and larval identification and monitoring will facilitate communication to the audience. This workshop will provide crucial knowledge to students, technicians, extension agents, and faculty that do research, consult, and work in any aspect related to small and stone fruit crops.
