SIM-LIVE Strategies to Manage Spotted Wing Drosophila in Organic Production

With Dr. Ash Sial, University of Georgia, Associate Professor & IPM Coordinator.

This presentation will include detailed information on monitoring and management of spotted wing drosophila (SWD) in organic blueberries using biological, behavioral, cultural and chemical strategies. The findings of recent research on organically approved insecticides, behavioral technologies, cultural practices including canopy and floor management, and biological control using native parasitoids will be discussed.
