Susceptibility of selected boreal fruits and berries to the invasive pest <i>Drosophila suzukii</i> (Diptera: Drosophilidae)

Abstract

Although blueberry growers have experienced severe economic crop losses due to D. suzukii, we have found that blueberries were the least preferred of the fruits tested. This suggests that D. suzukii are largely opportunistic and highlights the importance of fruit phenology in fruit susceptibility. © 2016 Society of Chemical Industry.
