Learn how to identify the exotic horticultural pest, spotted wing drosophila (Drosophila suzukii) through cesar's Pest Bites educational series.
Plant Health Australia, cesar, and Plant & Food Research NZ, with support from Hort NZ, are working together on a spotted wing drosophila (SWD) research and extension initiative. This is a collaborative project between Australia and New Zealand, and the aim is to increase how prepared horticultural industries are to detect, respond to, and manage this fly if it were found in either country.
This project has been funded by Hort Innovation, using the strawberry, raspberry and blackberry, cherry and summerfruit research and development levies and contributions from the Australian Government. Hort Innovation is the grower-owned, not-for-profit research and development corporation for Australian horticulture.
