“…In certain instances, such as organic production, preventative approaches are even more important as viable reactive approaches are lacking given that organic producers have only a few insecticide classes that provide consistent control against D. suzukii. 16 In addition to rotating insecticide classes to delay resistance development, we suggest that growers stop applying insecticides as soon after the final harvest as possible. Late season reproduction of D. suzukii in unsprayed fields may reduce the prevalence of recessive resistance alleles in the population.…”

BACKGROUND: The invasive drosophilid pest, Drosophila suzukii Matsumura, is affecting berry production in most fruit-producing regions of the world. Chemical control is the dominant management approach, creating concern for insecticide resistance in this pest. We compared the insecticide susceptibility of D. suzukii populations collected from conventional, organic or insecticide-free blueberry sites. RESULTS

“…5,7,16,17 Insecticides used to control D. suzukii are dominated by broad-spectrum insecticides that provide the necessary level of control and are also cost-effective. This includes pyrethroids such as zeta-cypermethrin and bifenthrin, and the organophosphates malathion and phosmet.…”

Invasion biology of spotted wing Drosophila (Drosophila suzukii): a global perspective and future priorities

The Asian vinegar fly Drosophila suzukii (spotted wing Drosophila [SWD]) has emerged as a major invasive insect pest of small and stone fruits in both the Americas and Europe since the late 2000s. While research efforts have rapidly progressed in Asia, North America, and Europe over the past 5 years, important new insights may be gained in comparing and contrasting findings across the regions affected by SWD. In this review, we explore common themes in the invasion biology of SWD by examining (1) its biology and current pest status in endemic and recently invaded regions; (2) current efforts and future research needs for the development of predictive models for its geographic expansion; and (3) prospects for both natural and classical (=importation) biological control of SWD in invaded habitats, with emphasis on the role of hymenopteran parasitoids. We conclude that particularly fruitful areas of research should include fundamental studies of its overwintering, host-use, and dispersal capabilities; as well as applied studies of alternative, cost-effective management techniques to complement insecticide use within the integrated pest management framework. Finally, we emphasize that outreach efforts are critical to effective SWD management by highlighting successful Communicated by M. Traugott.

In just a few years, the Asian fly Drosophila suzukii has invaded several continents and has become a very serious pest of many fruit crops worldwide. Current control methods rely on chemical insecticides or expensive and labour-intensive cultural practices. Classical biological control through the introduction of Asian parasitoids that have co-evolved with the pest may provide a sustainable solution on condition that they are sufficiently specific to avoid non-target effects on local biodiversity. Here, we present the first study on the development of three larval parasitoids from China and Japan, the Braconidae Asobara japonica and the Figitidae Leptopilina japonica and Ganaspis sp., on D. suzukii. The Asian parasitoids were compared with Leptopilina heterotoma, a common parasitoid of several Drosophilidae worldwide. The three Asian species were successfully reared on D. suzukii larvae in both, blueberry and artificial diet, in contrast to L. heterotoma whose eggs and larvae were encapsulated by the host larvae. All parasitoids were able to oviposit one day after emergence.Asobara japonica laid as many eggs in larvae feeding in blueberry as in artificial diet, whereas L. heterotoma oviposited more in larvae on the artificial diet and the Asian Figitidae oviposited more in larvae feeding on blueberry. Ganaspis sp. laid very few eggs in larvae in the artificial diet, suggesting that it may be specialized in Drosophila species living in fresh fruits. These data will be used for the development of a host range testing to assess the suitability of Asian parasitoids as biological control agents in invaded regions. K E Y W O R D SAsobara, Ganaspis, invasive species, Leptopilina, pre-oviposition period, spotted wing drosophila short development time of the fly, they have to be applied regularly and can cause severe environmental and health concerns (Bruck et al., 2011;Cuthbertson, Collins, Blackburn, Audsley, & Bell, 2014;Sampson, Werle, Stringer, & Adamczyk, 2017;Smirle, Zurowski, Ayyanath, Scott, & MacKenzie, 2017;Van Timmeren & Isaacs, 2013).Cultural management such as the use of insect-proof nets, mass trapping and removal or solarization of infested fruits are also used, but these strategies are expensive and labour-intensive and have to be adjusted to each type of fruit crop or cultivation system (Haye et al., 2016). New control techniques focusing on long-term management are therefore urgently needed. As wild host plants constitute a large reservoir of individuals that can potentially reinvade field crops, controlling the pest at a landscape level is essential.A number of natural enemies are known to have an impact on the dynamics and regulation of Drosophila spp. and may provide an area-wide control of fly populations (Carton, Bouletreau, Lenteren, & Alphen, 1986;Fleury, Gibert, Ris, & Allemand, 2009).Two generalist pupal parasitoids, Trichopria drosophilae Perkins (Hymenoptera, Diapriidae) and Pachycrepoideus vindemmiae (Rondani) (Hymenoptera, Pteromalidae), are found attacking D. suzukii worldwide ...
