Sites that are no longer spraying because harvest is complete are seeing higher numbers than sites that are still harvesting and spraying to protect the remaining crop (see table below). As colder temperatures set in, we expect a slowdown in activity, but flies can remain active even after the first few fall frosts. Should we see any tropical weather activity move in from the south in the coming weeks, drosophila activity could increase significantly and suddenly. Growers with late raspberries, blueberries, and day-neutral strawberries should continue to 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<p><strong>It&#8217;s Soil Testing Time<\/strong>: Early fall is a good time to seed cover crops, and is also a great time to take soil samples. Getting your soil tests results before the ground freezes allows time to correct soil pH with additions of lime, and to incorporate any needed nutrients into the soil, such as phosphorus, potassium, or magnesium, and to apply manure to increase organic matter. Fall applications of lime and nutrients (not nitrogen, as it is prone to leaching) are often ideal, because the fields are drier than in the spring, making applications easier, and nutrients will have time to reach the root zone before the plants need them. You can pick up soil test boxes and forms at any county office of the University of Maine Cooperative Extension, or call us here at Highmoor Farm if you\u2019d like us to send you some. For details on soil testing, visit the <a href=\"http:\/\/anlab.umesci.maine.edu\/\">University of Maine Analytical Laboratory and Soil Testing Service<\/a> website.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"12599\" class=\"wp-caption alignright\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-12599\" src=\"https:\/\/extension.umaine.edu\/highmoor\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/48\/2025\/09\/IMG_0848-300x225.jpeg\" alt=\"People standing in a pumpkin field during a fall twilight meeting.\" width=\"300\" height=\"225\" srcset=\"https:\/\/extension.umaine.edu\/highmoor\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/48\/2025\/09\/IMG_0848-300x225.jpeg 300w, https:\/\/extension.umaine.edu\/highmoor\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/48\/2025\/09\/IMG_0848-1024x768.jpeg 1024w, https:\/\/extension.umaine.edu\/highmoor\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/48\/2025\/09\/IMG_0848-768x576.jpeg 768w, https:\/\/extension.umaine.edu\/highmoor\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/48\/2025\/09\/IMG_0848-1536x1152.jpeg 1536w, https:\/\/extension.umaine.edu\/highmoor\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/48\/2025\/09\/IMG_0848-105x79.jpeg 105w, https:\/\/extension.umaine.edu\/highmoor\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/48\/2025\/09\/IMG_0848-317x238.jpeg 317w, https:\/\/extension.umaine.edu\/highmoor\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/48\/2025\/09\/IMG_0848-423x317.jpeg 423w, https:\/\/extension.umaine.edu\/highmoor\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/48\/2025\/09\/IMG_0848-634x476.jpeg 634w, https:\/\/extension.umaine.edu\/highmoor\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/48\/2025\/09\/IMG_0848-846x635.jpeg 846w, https:\/\/extension.umaine.edu\/highmoor\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/48\/2025\/09\/IMG_0848-951x713.jpeg 951w, https:\/\/extension.umaine.edu\/highmoor\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/48\/2025\/09\/IMG_0848-1268x951.jpeg 1268w, https:\/\/extension.umaine.edu\/highmoor\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/48\/2025\/09\/IMG_0848-500x375.jpeg 500w, https:\/\/extension.umaine.edu\/highmoor\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/48\/2025\/09\/IMG_0848.jpeg 2048w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 320px) 85vw, (max-width: 768px) 67vw, (max-width: 1024px) 62vw,300px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">Fall twilight meeting; photo by Chris Howard, UMaine Cooperative Extension<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p><strong>Vegetable &amp; Berry Growers Twilight Meeting<\/strong>: Friday, October 3, 5:00 p.m. at Bell Farm in Auburn, ME.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Other IPM Web Pages<\/strong><br \/>\n<a href=\"http:\/\/www.canr.msu.edu\/ipm\/invasive_species\/spotted_wing_drosophila\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Michigan State University Spotted Wing Drosophila<\/a><br \/>\n<a href=\"https:\/\/extension.psu.edu\/spotted-wing-drosophila-part-1-overview-and-identification\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Penn State University Spotted Wing Drosophila Overview<\/a><br \/>\n<a href=\"https:\/\/extension.unh.edu\/resource\/spotted-wing-drosophila-ipm-weekly-scouting-reports\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">University of New Hampshire SWD Weekly IPM Reports<\/a><\/p>\n<p>David T.
