Presentation from the SE Regional Fruit and Vegetable Conference

I have been attending the North American Raspberry and Blackberry Association (NARBA) annual meeting at the Southeastern Regional Fruit and Vegetable Conference in Savannah, GA. In addition to participating in the Southern Region Small Fruit Consortium pest identification agent training, I presented to the NARBA general session on Thursday, January 6th. I discussed SWD range, biology, monitoring, and management. Much of the information I discussed with generously shared by researchers on the west coast, where SWD has been present longer. In particular, Frank Zalom (UC Davis), Bob Van Steenwyk (UC Berkeley), Denny Bruck & Jana Lee (USDA-ARS) , and Amy Dreves (Oregon State University) provided valuable content.

You can download the slides from my NARBA presentation here. It's a large file, saved as a pdf.
