Some of the increase may be due to growers no longer spraying because they have finished harvest of summer crops for the season, and the resulting increase of over ripe fruit in the field (see table below). We expect populations to increase further as more food becomes available, and we see easing of the present drought conditions. Growers with late ripening fruit, such as fall fruiting raspberries, late ripening blueberries and day neutral strawberries, should monitor their plantings closely for flies and regularly check fruit for larvae. A 5 to 7-day spray schedule on ripening fruit may be required to keep it in good, marketable condition.<\/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<figure id=\"6580\" class=\"wp-caption alignright\"><a href=\"https:\/\/extension.umaine.edu\/highmoor\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/48\/2015\/05\/WhiteGrub110.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-6580 size-medium\" src=\"https:\/\/extension.umaine.edu\/highmoor\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/48\/2015\/05\/WhiteGrub110-300x200.jpg\" alt=\"White Grub\" width=\"300\" height=\"200\" srcset=\"https:\/\/extension.umaine.edu\/highmoor\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/48\/2015\/05\/WhiteGrub110-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/extension.umaine.edu\/highmoor\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/48\/2015\/05\/WhiteGrub110-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/extension.umaine.edu\/highmoor\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/48\/2015\/05\/WhiteGrub110-105x70.jpg 105w, https:\/\/extension.umaine.edu\/highmoor\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/48\/2015\/05\/WhiteGrub110-317x211.jpg 317w, https:\/\/extension.umaine.edu\/highmoor\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/48\/2015\/05\/WhiteGrub110-423x282.jpg 423w, https:\/\/extension.umaine.edu\/highmoor\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/48\/2015\/05\/WhiteGrub110-634x423.jpg 634w, https:\/\/extension.umaine.edu\/highmoor\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/48\/2015\/05\/WhiteGrub110-846x564.jpg 846w, https:\/\/extension.umaine.edu\/highmoor\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/48\/2015\/05\/WhiteGrub110-951x634.jpg 951w, https:\/\/extension.umaine.edu\/highmoor\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/48\/2015\/05\/WhiteGrub110.jpg 1000w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 320px) 85vw, (max-width: 768px) 67vw, (max-width: 1024px) 62vw,300px\" \/><\/a><figcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">White Grub, Photo by David Handley<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p><strong>White grubs<\/strong> are the larvae of several species of scarab beetles, including June beetles, rose chafers, Japanese beetles, Asiatic garden beetles and European chafers. Several of these species have been prevalent this year, so we may expect grub problems to be more common next spring and summer. The beetles lay their eggs in June and July and the grubs feed on the roots of strawberries, turf and other perennials from July through mid-September. Affected plants will be stunted and wilted and may die during dry periods. Pulling up plants reveals that roots have been chewed off about an inch below the soil line. Sifting through the soil below the plants may reveal the whitish crescent-shaped grubs which can range in size from 3\/8 inch to almost 1 \u00bd inches long, with six legs near the head and a swollen rear-end. The two most effective periods to treat plantings for grubs are in the spring prior to when they pupate (May) and in the late summer when the next generation is actively feeding, i.e. <strong>now<\/strong> (late August). Materials should be applied with plenty of water to be sure they reach the root zone. Materials currently registered for control of grubs in strawberries include Platinum\u00ae and Admire Pro\u00ae. Parasitic nematodes can also provide control of grubs and should be applied with similar timing. Nematodes are very sensitive to ultraviolet light and dehydration and must be applied with lots of water. Given the abnormally dry soil conditions this year, it may not be a good option.
