“…Some preliminary data indicate that the taint does not survive fermentation and bottling, while others indicate it may (Mohekar et al 2014. Brown marmorated stink bug uses grapevines as reproductive hosts, and both nymphs and adults feed upon grape clusters (Pfeiffer et al 2012). This feeding results in necrosis and deformation at the feeding site, and many bugs may be seen on individual clusters.…”

Brown marmorated stink bug, Halyomorpha halys Stål, is an invasive, herbivorous insect species that was accidentally introduced to the United States from Asia. First discovered in Allentown, PA, in 1996, H. halys has now been reported from at least 40 states in the United States. Additional invasions have been detected in Canada, Switzerland, France, Germany, Italy, and Lichtenstein, suggesting this invasive species could emerge as a cosmopolitan pest species. In its native range, H. halys is classified as an outbreak pest; however, in North America, H. halys has become a major agricultural pest across a wide range of commodities. H. halys is a generalist herbivore, capable of consuming Ͼ100 different species of host plants, often resulting in substantial economic damage; its feeding damage resulted in US$37 million of losses in apple in 2010, but this stink bug species also attacks other fruit, vegetable, field crop, and ornamental plant species. H. halys has disrupted integrated pest management programs for multiple cropping systems. Pesticide applications, including broad-spectrum insecticides, have increased in response to H. halys infestations, potentially negatively influencing populations of beneficial arthropods and increasing secondary pest outbreaks. H. halys is also challenging because it affects homeowners as a nuisance pest; the bug tends to overwinter in homes and outbuildings. Although more research is required to better understand the ecology and biology of H. halys, we present its life history, host plant damage, and the management options available for this invasive pest species.

“…This species differs from most other Drosophila species; the females have a serrated ovipositor allowing them to oviposit in ripening fruit, thus rendering it unmarketable (Walsh et al., ). In susceptible crops including soft‐skinned berries, millions of dollars of fruit have been put at risk of infestation by this pest (Bolda, Goodhue, & Zalom, ; Pfeiffer, Leskey, & Burrack, ). In California, which accounts for 74% of all raspberry production in the United States, Farnsworth et al.…”

Drosophila suzukii Matsumura is a significant pest of soft-skinned fruit. Larvae of D. suzukii develop within the fruit making it unmarketable as fresh berries and increasing the risk of rejection by processors. We evaluated selected biopesticides for control of D. suzukii in fall red raspberries, Rubus idaeus L. The trial results highlight a small number of biopesticides with the potential to reduce infestation of Drosophila larvae in raspberries. In addition to the standard biopesticide spinosad, we found that sabadilla alkaloids and Chromobacterium subtsugae both reduced the number of Drosophila larvae in raspberry fruit. Treatments that included corn syrup as a feeding stimulant showed no significant difference in their infestation levels compared to treatments without the syrup. In the final week of the 5-week trial, treatments with rotations of either spinosad/C. subtsugae or spinosad/sabadilla alkaloids had a 67% and 57% reduction in infestation when compared to untreated raspberries. Treatments of spinosad alone on a 7 day rotation and C. subtsugae alone on a 3-5 day rotation both had a 62% and 61% reduction in larval infestation when compared to untreated raspberries.Third instar larvae, the largest and most damaging, were significantly reduced in plots treated with spinosad only, a rotation of spinosad/sabadilla alkaloids and the rotation of spinosad/C. subtsugae with corn syrup added when compared to untreated plots.This suggests that either of these biopesticides could be used as effective rotation partners along with spinosad for control of D. suzukii. Our results highlight that biopesticides can provide significant reduction in this devastating pest when used alone or in combination, providing options to support resistance management.

“…For some crops such as raspberries and cherries, D. suzukii has become the key pest driving insecticide programmes through the season (Bolda et al 2010;Beers et al 2011). In other crops, such as grapes and peaches, the fly has not become a key pest, but its economic impact in vineyards remains unknown (Pfeiffer et al 2012). Initial fruit susceptibility studies by Lee et al (2011) showed that D. suzukii adults reproduced poorly when presented with wine grapes in a laboratory setting.…”

Drosophila suzukii in Michigan vineyards, and the first report of Zaprionus indianus from this region

Drosophila suzukii is a new invasive pest that in recent years has become established in the Great Lakes region of the United States. Understanding the level of infestation in potentially susceptible crops is an important first step for planning appropriate management responses. This study was conducted in 2010–2012 to determine the infestation potential of this pest in native Vitis labrusca, French hybrid and V. vinifera grape cultivars grown in Michigan vineyards. Drosophila suzukii adults were reared out of collected grape samples in all 3 years, comprising a low proportion of all emerged drosophilids in each of the years. This trend was also found in vacuum sampling, conducted in 2011, with the majority of flies collected being non‐D. suzukii drosophilids. Another recently introduced invasive fly species, Zaprionus indianus, was also reared out of grape samples collected in 2012. While the results of this study indicate no immediate threats to commercial grape production from D. suzukii, further research is needed to elucidate possible secondary effects that this species may have on vineyards, such as the introduction of diseases to the fruit.
