Controlling Spotted Wing Drosophila Organically

Despite increasing pressure associated with SWD on a wide range of fruits, there are few organic options for its control. This session will explore research on integrated techniques that are proving effective without the use of prohibited insecticides. Some of these techniques include attractants, netting, trapping, biological control, and more. Because this pest is now widespread in soft fruit, fighting it is very important.

This workshop is part of the Organic Farming Research Foundation (OFRF) Organic Agriculture Research Forum (OARF).
