3 Summary of 12 Findings Monitoring New trap styles How do they help growers? Seasonal flight summary Management Tidbits Are figs a host? Canopy height The promise of biological control Control Baits Sprays Do post harvest sprays help? Dr. Van Steenwyk s recommendations for 13 Brentwood spray-flight-damage summaries

4 Monitoring Adults Choose a bucket style trap Hang 3-5 high, in the shade Bait with real apple cider vinegar

In some orchards, the male flight starts later than the female flight Contra Costa County Phenology Site /12 Burlat harvest 5/3 Bing harvest: % damage SWD male SWD female 5

6 Are traps worth it? We don t need them to time sprays There aren t any trap thresholds We know we have a significant population Can help to gauge population pressure High pressure - more aggressive management Can help show how long your sprays last In retrospect (for future planning) Very important tool for researchers

22 SWD Control: Sprays Spray Guidelines Protect fruit BEFORE eggs are laid in fruit Start when earliest fruit changes from straw to blush Spray the early pollinators to keep populations low Burlat & Black Tartarian are very favorable hosts Eggs laid in these will result in a large population emerging as Bings become susceptible Maintain the spray residue until the last variety is picked Check with packers on materials to use for MRL concerns Switch chemical classes to avoid resistance Post harvest sprays won t help control next years SWD
