Chile: Important advances in the control of pest, Drosophila Suzukii in blueberries

Tridge 요약

Drosophila suzukii, a native Southeast Asian fly species, has become a global pest due to its ability to lay eggs in healthy, soft-skinned fruits like berries and cherries. First identified in Chile in 2017, its spread has been facilitated by the international trade of fresh fruits. The pest causes significant damage by laying eggs and allows secondary infections, potentially leading to extensive crop losses. Its small size, high reproductive rate, and adaptability to various conditions make it challenging to control. Economic losses from this pest are not well-documented but are noted to be substantial, with incidents in the US, Europe, and South America. In Chile, the pest's impact has been severe, spreading widely and requiring integrated pest management strategies for management.

With a great capacity to introduce its eggs into a wide range of ripe, soft-skinned fruits, Drosophila suzukii is causing considerable impacts on berries and cherries in different parts of the world. In Chile, it was found for the first time in 2017. During the last three years, in-depth work has been carried out to promote the integrated management of this pest, in order to prevent its spread. Gastón Ulloa, Technical Manager of Biofuturo The distribution of Drosophila suzukii worldwide has been favored by the increase in the international commercialization of fresh fruit, which together with the morphological aspects and phenotypic adaptations of the species, have led to its rapid spread , causing a late response from agriculture. This invasive species is an insect native to Southeast Asia, corresponding to the dipteran order (flies), family Drosophilidae and has a wide distribution in the world. Its relevance is that it affects the healthy fruit present in the orchards prior to ...
