Spotted wing drosophila (Drosophila suzukii Matsumura) (SWD) is an invasive pest originated from East Asia, which has caused devastating damaged to soft-skinned fruit productions globally and an increase of growers’ reliance on insecticide to meet market standards. However, the intensive use of insecticides raises community concerns regarding environmental health, human health, and the risk of SWD population to grow resistances. Therefore, exploring other activity modes of insecticides...
Show moreSpotted wing drosophila (Drosophila suzukii Matsumura) (SWD) is an invasive pest originated from East Asia, which has caused devastating damaged to soft-skinned fruit productions globally and an increase of growers’ reliance on insecticide to meet market standards. However, the intensive use of insecticides raises community concerns regarding environmental health, human health, and the risk of SWD population to grow resistances. Therefore, exploring other activity modes of insecticides registered against SWD besides adulticide action may provide information to refine existing insecticide programs. The data from these experiments provide insight of the curative and rainfastness of insecticides registered against SWD in tart cherry productions. The residue data in these experiments compliment the biological data and provide better understanding on how these insecticides work against SWD.
