In second year of research of biology and management of Spotted Wing Drosophila on small and stone fruits some biological data and control methods have been already known. Spotted wing Drosophila (Drosophila suzukii) is an invasive pest that attacks multiple fresh fruits. It is fast becoming a problem in the Pacific Northwest as well as in Europe. Entomologists at University of California – Davis, Washington State University and Oregon State University have provided first results of their research work. Delete the scoop?

The Australian Cooperative Research Centre for National Plant Biosecurity has developed memoranda of understanding with two leading Chinese science agencies and a university to mount joint research programs aimed at curbing losses of grain and other vital crops to insects, fungi and plant diseases. Australia has been recognised as a world leader in dealing with insect pests in stored grain and has particular skills in developing clean, green approaches to grain hygiene. At the other side, building a greater understanding of the import requirements for Australian produce (as they apply to plant biosecurity) which will assist grains and horticulture industries develop further markets in China. The cooperation in diagnostics and trials, as well as sharing of technical expertise and models of leadership in Australia and Indonesia are based on a CRC Plant Biosecurity project dealing with "A community based model to manage emergency plant pests" ($1,431,310; cash and in-kind contributions).
