Spotted Wing Drosophila: Pest Management Recommendations for Southeastern Blueberries
2013
Oscar E. Liburd | Lindsy E. Iglesias
The spotted wing drosophila is a recently discovered invasive species native to parts of East Asia. It was first detected in the continental United States in California in 2008 and in Hillsborough County, Florida in 2009. Since then, the spotted wing drosophila has spread to over 28 counties in Florida. SWD is polyphagous, meaning it feeds on many different host plants, including most thin-skinned fruits. The major hosts of concern to the Florida agriculture industry are blueberries, strawberries, blackberries and grapes. This 5-page fact sheet was written by Oscar E. Liburd and Lindsy E. Iglesias and published by the UF Department of Entomology and Nematology, June 2013. http://edis.ifas.ufl.edu/in998
