Since the recent nearly worldwide establishment of Drosophila suzukii (Matsumura) (Diptera: Drosophilidae) in berry crops, various methods are being tested to control their invasive populations. Strategy components such as insecticide treatments, mass trapping or attract and kill are being considered for integrated management. Monitoring of populations, early detection and damage threshold establishment with an effective attractant and trap has become essential for managing this invasive pes...

This work was performed in Tijuana, Baja California, Mexico, from October 2012 to January 2013. The work aimed to evaluate the effectiveness of two different traps and the Suzukii Trap® attractant in the catch of Drosophila suzukii. The monitoring of pest confirmed the presence of spotted wing drosophila (Drosophila suzukii Mats.) in the territory of Baja California, Mexico. D. suzukii could be monitored by red traps, followed by yellow traps, with Suzukii Trap® attractant.

Developing improved strategies for managing Drosophila suzukii (spotted wing drosophila SWD) will be necessary to reduce reliance on chemical pesticides and minimize the damage caused by this recently introduced pest. Given the limitations in insecticide active ingredients and the need for integrated management of pests, the R&D Department of Bioiberica has developed Suzukii Trap®, a specific food attractant for monitoring and mass trapping D.suzukii. During 2013, several trials were pe...

Due to the large capacity of reproduction of Drosophila suzukii, mass trapping approaches with baits may have huge potential for management and control of this fly. Mass trapping trials with the attractant Suzukii Trap® are conducted in different susceptible crops in order to define the best strategy for the control of this pest. By way of illustration, a trial of mass trapping is presented in a commercial plot of strawberry and raspberry in the region of Maresme (Barcelona), where the prev...
