TL;DR: Exclusion netting applied to commercial size high tunnels resulted in a significant reduction in overall D. suzukii infestation in raspberries, as well as a 3-wk delay in the average first detectable fruit infestation, indicating that this approach can be an important component of growers' response to invasion by D.suzukII in temperate climates.

TL;DR: This study will provide guidance to growers on culturally based IPM tactics to decrease reliance on chemical management and reduce the effects of this invasive pest on raspberry production.

TL;DR: Although adult D. suzukii may overwinter in sheltered microclimates, this ability may be limited in regions where the ground temperature, or site of overwintering, falls below freezing for extended durations.

TL;DR: Observations in Pennsylvania vineyards revealed that adults infested vineyards in late summer and populations peaked in early to mid-September, suggesting high input from the surrounding landscape and potential need for area-wide management of this pest.

TL;DR: None of the OMRI-listed compounds evaluated in this study provided effective control, indicating anticipated difficulty among organic producers in reducing damage from this new and important pest.
