Traps have gone up for spotted wing drosophila at a few sites across the province- Norfolk, Elgin, Halton, Haldimand, and Hamilton.
The first SWD were identified on traps last week (June 2-8) – 1 in Elgin county and 1 in Norfolk county. 1 SWD was identified this week:
Trap collected week of: | County/region where SWD was trapped | # of traps with SWD | Total number of SWD trapped this week | # SWD/positive trap |
May 26- June 1 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 |
June 2-June 8 | Norfolk, Elgin | 2 | 2 | 1 |
June 9- June 13 | Halton | 1 | 1 | 1 |
Management is not needed until we have sustained catch (2 weeks in a row) and ripe fruit is present. No sites we are monitoring are at sustained catch. Monitoring on your own farm is important. Salt water tests can be a useful tool to monitor for larvae.
See Ontario.ca/cropIPM for details on monitoring tools.
