“…However, fruits in the crop canopy may have been slightly overestimated, as infested fruits tend to fall off branches more readily than non-infested fruits. Drosophila suzukii had previously been reared from rotting strawberry guava fruits, Psidium cattleianum Sabine, collected from trees and from the ground in Hawaii, USA (Kido et al, 1996). Moreover, D. suzukii was one of the most frequently captured insects in methyl eugenol traps in Hawaii and its abundance was always positively correlated with captures of the tephritid Bactrocera dorsalis (Hendel), and coincident with the fruiting cycles of wild guava (Newell & Haramoto, 1968;Vargas et al, 1989).…”

The exotic pestiferous flies Drosophila suzukii (Matsumura) and Zaprionus indianus Gupta (Diptera: Drosophilidae) were recently identified in traps used for monitoring tephritid pests of guava, Psidium guajava L. (Myrtaceae), in Veracruz, Mexico. To determine whether both drosophilids were infesting guava, a previously unreported host, samples were taken from fruits on trees and fallen fruits on the ground. Overall, 74 and 36% of visually intact fruits attached to the tree were infested by D. suzukii and Z. indianus, respectively. Under laboratory conditions, small artificial punctures on the surface of ripe guavas did not result in increased oviposition by D. suzukii compared to undamaged fruit, whereas Z. indianus almost completely avoided oviposition, or were not capable of developing in fruit. Females of D. suzukii were capable of ovipositing in early ripe guavas in laboratory tests (23% of fruits were used for oviposition), although a high penetration force is required to pierce fruit (mean AE SEM = 89.0 AE 3.0 cN). Fully ripe and overripe guavas were softer (52.2-53.5 cN penetration force) and were more frequently infested (ca. 60% infestation). Numbers of females that developed in guavas were not influenced by ripeness/firmness, whereas male development was reduced in early ripe fruit compared to ripe and overripe fruit. In laboratory choice experiments with crushed fruits, D. suzukii adults were equally attracted to guava and blueberry, independent of gender and age. However, raspberry was more attractive than guava. This study demonstrates that D. suzukii is attracted to guava, is capable of ovipositing in fruit and, under field conditions, is more abundant in fruits still attached to the tree compared to fallen fruit that remain intact. In contrast, Z. indianus was not capable of developing in intact guavas and, although present in fruits attached to the tree, was most abundant in fallen damaged fruits.

“…Previous studies (Kido & Asquith 1995, Kido et al 1996, Uchida et al 2006, Leblanc et al 2006) used a statistical basis to determine if a non-target insect was attracted to a lure. Attraction was assumed if the catch of an insect was signifi cantly greater in a lure baited trap than the control, even if the insect was captured in traps baited with more than one lure.…”

Attraction of non-target insects to three male fruit fly lures in California

The attraction of non-target insects to the male fruit fl y lures methyl eugenol (1,2-Dimethoxy-4-prop-2-en-1-ylbenzene), cue-lure (4-[4-(acetyloxy)phenyl]-2-butanone), and trimedlure (t-Butyl-2-methyl-4-chlorocyclohexanecarboxylate) was examined in the main plant communities in California, except the desert, in 2012 and 2013. A total of 39,166 non-target insects were trapped during the study. Of these, 27 species or morphospecies in fi ve orders and 20 families were deemed as attracted to one of the male lures. The most common of these were in the Syrphidae (Diptera) genera: as well as the genus Empis Linnaeus, 1758 (Diptera: Empididae) and the genus Orchesia Latreille, 1807 (Coleoptera: Melandryidae). The low capture rate of these non-target insects (<4/day maximum), combined with the discrete nature of the California Department of Food and Agriculture's trapping and fruit fl y eradication programs using the lures, indicates that the use of these lures will not have a signifi cant impact on non-target insects attracted to them.

“…Even though additional experiments are required to test the suitability of β‐cyclocitral in traps, the specificity of its perception by D. suzukii makes it a promising candidate for further trap development research. Interestingly, earlier studies on the selectivity of trapping programs for the control of the oriental fruit fly ( Bactrocera dorsalis ) reported substantial D. suzukii catch rates in traps baited with methyl eugenol (Kido, Asquith, & Vargas, ; Uchida et al., ). This phenylpropanoid volatile is produced by a broad range of plants and plays an important role in plant‐insect interactions, including the attraction of pollinators and tephritid fruit flies, the latter occupying a similar ecological niche to D. suzukii using intact fruit as oviposition sites (Tan, Carlson, Walton, Fahrenkrug, & Hackett, ).…”

Environmentally sustainable pest control options forDrosophila suzukii

The spotted-wing drosophila or cherry vinegar fly (Drosophila suzukii) is native to Asia but has invaded other continents since 2008 and has spread throughout Europe. The females have a serrated ovipositor allowing them to penetrate the skins of intact ripening fruits to deposit their eggs, and the developing larvae rapidly destroy the fruits close to harvest. Drosophila suzukii has a rapid life cycle and the larvae develop well beneath the fruit surface. This means that the use of pesticides is problematic and often not effective, first due to their restricted use close to harvest to protect consumers, and second because the larvae are deep enough inside the fruit to avoid contact.There are currently no effective and environmentally sustainable pest control methods for this species, resulting in extensive damage to fruit crops. Here, we review the current status of D. suzukii as a fruit crop pest and discuss the feasibility of current pesticide-free control methods. We also consider the potential of new technologies as a basis for the urgently needed specific and long-term control of this species.
