Economic analysis of revenue losses and control costs associated with the spotted wing drosophila, <i>Drosophila suzukii</i> (Matsumura), in the California raspberry industry

Abstract

SWD's invasion into North America has caused extensive crop losses to berry and cherry crops in California and elsewhere. Agricultural producers and researchers have responded quickly to this pest by developing management programs that significantly reduce revenue losses. Economic losses are expected to continue to fall as producers learn to manage SWD more efficiently and as new control tactics become available. © 2016 Society of Chemical Industry.
