“…Cinnamon extract is commercially applied in combination with onion and chili pepper against D. suzukii in soft fruits in Mexico (Progranic Gamma, PLM ® México), and showed a significant reduction in numbers of larvae found in treated raspberries [ 59 ]. The authors did not report if the observed effect is due to oviposition repellency or an increased mortality of eggs and first instar larvae.…”

“…Results varied among sampling dates for oviposition and larval infestation in fruits. It is most problematic for the control of SWD, when application of commercial plant extracts cannot reduce the number of eggs and developing larvae in the fruits [ 58 , 59 ].…”

“…Plant secondary metabolites (i.e., azadirachtin and pyrethrum) and essential oils (EOs) are commonly used biopesticides [ 47 , 48 , 49 , 50 , 51 , 52 , 53 , 54 ]. Some of these natural plant products [ 55 , 56 , 57 , 58 , 59 , 60 ], and volatile compounds from host fruits [ 61 , 62 , 63 ], were tested on different life stages of SWD [ 55 , 56 , 64 ]. In laboratory studies, a number of promising plant-derived substances have been identified [ 61 , 62 , 65 , 66 ].…”

“…Despite the intensive search, to date no single plant-based substance has been identified as primary candidate for efficient control strategies [ 23 , 24 , 68 ]. Moreover, since each female fly can deposit numerous eggs in one fruit, and infested fruits collapse within days due to larval feeding, it is most urgent for efficacious control strategies to find a suitable repellent substance [ 59 , 69 ].…”

Drosophila suzukii (Diptera: Drosophilidae), is native to southeastern Asia and invaded Europe during the past decade. It causes serious economic damage in cherries and soft fruits. Control strategies rely on few insecticides with varying success. Due to environmental concern, the use of synthetic chemicals is restricted. Therefore, research effort is put into the quest for alternative substances applicable in chemical pest control. In laboratory assays, we tested 17 volatile plant compounds from different chemical classes for their contact toxicity, feeding modification, and oviposition repellency. Toxicity through contact with treated surfaces was evaluated after 1 h, 4 h, and 24 h; effects on food uptake were observed with capillary feeding (CAFE)—tests and oviposition trials compared egg numbers laid in raspberry medium with or without treated filter paper. Cinnamon oil and its components had the highest contact toxicity with an LC90 = 2–3%, whereas lemongrass oil, its main components, and farnesol were less toxic (LC90 = 7–9%), and geraniol was the least toxic. In CAFE tests, feeding stimulation was observed through 0.1% and 1% solutions of citronellol, lemongrass oil and farnesol. Cinnamon oil, cinnamaldhyde, and ethyl cinnamate were not consumed at a concentration of 1%. In the presence of citral, eugenol, and lemongrass oil, oviposition was reduced, and in the presence of limonene, no eggs were deposited. The natural products found most efficient in either bioassay will be further tested under field conditions.

“…In recent laboratory trials, spinosad was also shown to harm the pupal parasitoid Pachycrepoideus vindemmiae (Rondani; Hymenoptera: Pteromalidae), a parasitoid attacking D. suzukii (Cossentine & Ayyanath, ). As consequence, plant protection products with less side‐effects for beneficials and other environmentally friendly methods are urgently needed for D. suzukii management (Cahenzli, Strack, & Daniel, ; Pérez‐Guerrero & Mateus, ) and further research in this respect should be highly encouraged.…”

The invasive cherry vinegar fly, Drosophila suzukii, has been identified in Europe as a destructive fruit pest since its arrival in 2008. In the present laboratory study, three predatory insects (Orius majusculus, Chrysoperla carnea, and Forficula auricularia) naturally occurring on fruit crops in Europe were investigated for their ability to attack and feed on D. suzukii within and outside fruits. The predators were provided with various D. suzukii life stages (eggs, larvae, pupae or adults) exposed or within infested cherries. The anthocorid bug O. majusculus fed on eggs and larvae, but was not able to attack pupae. Larvae of the lacewing C. carnea preyed upon D. suzukii eggs, larvae and pupae and also captured adult flies. The European earwig F. auricularia was the most voracious predator of these three tested species. Although the earwigs were not able to catch adult flies, they readily preyed upon every other developmental stage. Adult O. majusculus or third instar larvae of C. carnea significantly reduced the offspring of D. suzukii from infested cherries, when these contained the egg stage of the pest. None of the predators were able to attack early larval stages inside the cherries. But pupae that protruded from the fruit epicarp or that had pupated outside the fruit were accessible to lacewing larvae and earwigs and significantly reduced by them. Orius bugs, lacewing larvae and earwigs were able, under laboratory conditions, to capture and prey upon various life stages of the invasive pest, if not completely concealed inside the fruit. Our findings suggest that these generalist predators may have some control capacity on infested fruit in cultivated fruit crops and also in non‐crop habitats.

Drosophila suzukii (Matsumura) (Diptera: Drosophilidae) also known as spotted-wing drosophila (SWD), is a pest native to Southeast Asia. In the last few decades, the pest has expanded its range to affect all major European and American fruit production regions. SWD is a highly adaptive insect that is able to disperse, survive, and flourish under a range of environmental conditions. Infestation by SWD generates both direct and indirect economic impacts through yield losses, shorter shelf life of infested fruit, and increased production costs. Fresh markets, frozen berries, and fruit export programs have been impacted by the pest due to zero tolerance for fruit infestation. As SWD control programs rely heavily on insecticides, exceedance of maximum residue levels (MRLs) has also resulted in crop rejections. The economic impact of SWD has been particularly severe for organic operations, mainly due to the limited availability of effective insecticides. Integrated pest management (IPM) of SWD could significantly reduce chemical inputs but would require substantial changes to horticultural management practices. This review evaluates the most promising methods studied as part of an IPM strategy against SWD across the world. For each of the considered techniques, the effectiveness, impact, sustainability, and stage of development are discussed.
