Spotted Wing Drosophila
July 28, 2014

Two trap locations in Western MA have yielded 2 female (first location) and 2 male & 2 female (second location).  Additional grower reports have also come in this week with the first trap captures of the season.  One report of fruit infestations following the salt test has also come in.  Growers with ripening fruit should begin their spray programs if they have not done so already.  See the UMass Fruit Advisor SWD page for more information
