Populations are over the recommended spray threshold (4\/trap\/week) at all sites. While the hot, dry conditions seem to be keeping populations from increasing at a fast pace, as we would normally expect to see now, any rain in the near future, and the increased presence of ripe and over ripe fruit will likely stimulate higher pressure soon. At present, a 7-day spray schedule on ripening fruit should be adequate to prevent infestation by larvae.<\/p>\n<p>If you are growing raspberries, blackberries and\/or blueberries, you should be managing spotted wing drosophila on any fruit that is presently ripening and\/or being harvested to prevent infestation.<\/p>\n<p>For more information on identifying spotted wing drosophila (SWD) and updates on populations around the state, visit our <a href=\"https:\/\/extension.umaine.edu\/highmoor\/category\/spotted-wing-drosophila\/\">SWD blog<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h3>Maine Specialty Potato Variety Showcase at Rogers Farm<\/h3>\n<p><strong>When<\/strong>: Friday, Aug 29 from 12:30 \u2013 3:00 PM<\/p>\n<p><strong>Where<\/strong>: Rogers Farm Forage and Crop Research Facility, 914 Bennoch Road, Old Town, ME 04468<\/p>\n<p><strong>Program description<\/strong>:<br \/>\nJoin UMaine Extension Sustainable Agriculture Educator, Brett Johnson and UMaine Assistant Professor of Potato Breeding and Genetics, Mario Andrade, for a presentation covering results of the 2024 Organic Specialty Potato Variety Trial conducted at the Rogers Farm Forage and Crop Research Facility.
