Drosophila suzukii
Matsumura, a potentially
devastating pest in Florida
blueberries: Survey and
trapping studies
Japan 1916 – Identified by Matsumura in 1931
Hawaii 1980 – first in US
California 2008
Washington & Oregon 2009
European countries
Other US states
Florida 2009
GLOBAL DISTRIBUTION

Wide host range: strawberry,
blueberry, raspberry, peach,
blackberry, cherry, plums,
mulberry, nectarines, currants,
etc.
Blueberry fruiting period aligns
with moderate climate
conditions favorable for SWD
development
HOST PREFERENCE
Scars on berry upon
insertion of the
ovipositor
BLUEBERRY INJURY
Berry browns and
softens as larvae
develop inside
Updated statewide distribution of SWD and identification of the most effective trap design are necessary to determine:
where to focus monitoring and control programs
optimal program timing
effectiveness of programs
future potential threats to industry
JUSTIFICATION
Objective 1: To determine population
distribution of SWD in the various
blueberry-growing regions of Florida.
Objective 2: To determine the most
effective trap for capturing SWD in the
field.
STUDY OBJECTIVES
15 randomly
selected locations
9 counties
OBJECTIVE 1: SURVEY
Suwannee
Alachua
Putnam
Marion
Citrus
Lake
Orange
Polk
DeSoto
Trap design
0.95 L plastic cup with
yellow band and lid
8- to 10-3.2 mm holes
along upper rim
150 ml Apple Cider Vinegar
(ACV) 2% acetic acid
2 drops of odorless dish
soap
Twist-tie
METHODS
METHODS
4 to 6 traps set on border of
field and within field
Traps serviced weekly for 4 to
11 weeks
February 14 to May 17
Female and male SWD

SWD present in 8 of 9 of the major blueberry producing
counties
High mean SWD in Citrus likely due to high number of
blueberry growing acres
Low mean SWD in DeSoto suggests higher temperatures
early in the year may help prevent establishment
Higher numbers of females in Alachua, Citrus, Orange,
and Putnam suggest counting males may not provide
accurate estimate of total SWD population
FINDINGS
Two experiments
1. Alachua County - Jan 25 to Apr 10
2. Citrus County - Apr 19 to May 9
RCBD 5 treatments, 4 replicates
Traps serviced and rotated
weekly
Female and Male SWD identified
and counted at UF IPM Lab
Data analyzed with one-way
ANOVA and Tukey’s HSD

FINDINGS
Control captured least SWD and would not be
recommended for monitoring of SWD
Only D+card performed significantly different than A
and only in experiment 1, suggesting stimulus nor
soap affected SWD capture
No difference in female and male in experiment 2,
significantly greater females in A and B+yel in
experiment 1
Male populations establish later in the season????
Monitoring programs should be implemented and
maintained in areas where SWD is present
Female and male SWD should be identified for a
more accurate estimate of SWD, especially early
in the season
Cost and labor of constructing and maintaining
various cup traps should be considered when
determining best trap for program
