Spotted Wing Drosophila (SWD) Trap Network

Abstract

A New York State monitoring network for the invasive insect spotted wing Drosophila (SWD) will be set in June and monitored each year by Extension educators and faculty until first sustained trap catch is noted. Results from the trap network will be uploaded to a NY distribution map, the SWD blog, and in newsletters to inform fruit farmers of risk to fruit crops.
