“…For S4, we assume that if growers observe early-stage infestation from fruit sampling, they will harvest earlier (and more frequently) than the scheduled harvest times. This strategy is based on previous studies [16][17][18] showing that, if the fruits are harvested and stored in the cold chain at an early stage of infestation, the marketability can likely be maintained even if infestation exists. We considered the strategy of no spraying, no monitoring, and harvesting every 3 days with cold storage.…”

“…As a result, recent research suggests growers should incorporate fruit sampling in their production process to identify infestation early and to observe the premature D. suzukii population (such as egg, larva, and pupae) so that they can apply pesticide accordingly 1,15 . Detecting early infestation is valuable to growers, as previous studies have shown that the marketability of fruits with early infestation can be maintained if those fruits are harvested and stored in the cold chain right away 16–18 . Nonetheless, fruit sampling has not been widely adopted by growers given the extra time and costs required.…”

BackgroundDrosophila suzukii is a significant invasive pest that has caused high management costs and economic losses for blueberry growers in the United States. The status quo control strategy commonly used by growers is to apply pesticides proactively and frequently to reduce infestation. Recent studies have shown that the calendar‐based spraying strategy might be unsustainable in the long term, which makes reducing pesticide reliance a top priority for the berry industry. Incorporating pest monitoring into the control strategy could be an option to improve efficiency while reducing pesticide usage. This study assesses the economic implications of monitoring‐based control strategies to calendar‐based spraying control strategies for organic blueberry production in Oregon. We combine a Drosophila suzukii population model into the economic simulation framework, evaluate two monitoring methods (adult trapping and fruit sampling), and identify the profit‐maximizing control strategy under different scenarios.ResultsIn the baseline scenario, control strategies that incorporate fruit sampling exhibit the highest average profits. Although the status quo control strategy (spraying every three days) has higher average revenue than monitoring‐based strategies, the cost from the higher number of pesticide application offsets the returns.ConclusionThis study uses a novel bioeconomic simulation framework to show that incorporating fruit sampling can be a promising tool to reduce pesticide reliance while controlling for Drosophila suzukii infestation. These findings provide important information to monitoring‐based pest control strategies in organic berry production, and the assessment framework sheds light on the economics of pest management.This article is protected by copyright.

“…Due to their high-water content and soft fruit structure, they are particularly susceptible to microbial contamination, which makes them prone to softening and rotting during transportation and storage. Current strawberry preservation technologies primarily utilize refrigeration processing [ 22 ], coating [ 23 ], controlled atmosphere preservation [ 24 ], and natural preservation methods including essential oil preservation [ 25 ]. However, these methods often require high technical expertise and controlled environmental conditions, and chemical preservatives can leave residues on the surfaces of fruits and vegetables, posing additional concerns.…”

Duponchelia fovealis is an important pest in strawberry crops. In search of an alternative biological control method, the objective of this study was to assess the effects of a diet composed of Ephestia kuehniella or D. fovealis eggs offered to Chrysoperla externa larvae on their subsequent development and survival under controlled conditions. Biological and reproductive parameters of C. externa were assessed. Additionally, the daily predation of D. fovealis eggs by C. externa was analyzed. Finally, a fertility life table was constructed. The egg-to-pupa development time differed significantly between diets. The weights of firstand second-generation male C. externa pupae were significantly higher when fed on D. fovealis eggs. Males tended to live longer on a diet based on D. fovealis eggs, but females presented no significant differences between diets. The oviposition period tended to be longer for C. externa fed on D. fovealis eggs. The time between generations and the net reproductive rate were greater for C. externa fed on D. fovealis eggs. The results showed that D. fovealis eggs are a suitable diet for the development of C. externa. This information is important for developing protocols for the use of C. externa as a biocontrol agent against this pest.
