A series of webinar sessions are on-going in an effort to share information about the regional spotted wing drosophila (SWD) situation and research/management progress made so far, and to provide a forum for discussion about gaps in knowledge and next steps toward robust, sustainable solutions for management of this pest.
The third session in the series will take place on:
Thursday, February 9, 2017
1:30 – 3:30 p.m. EST
The focus will be on the situation in small fruits and berries in British Columbia and Ontario with respect to SWD and will include research and monitoring updates from these areas as well as information about insecticide efficacy and resistance.
