TL;DR:
Widespread evaluations of this method and subsequent validation in California, Michigan, and Georgia in 2019–2021 show that it provides a quick and low-cost method to identify populations of D. suzukii that warrant more detailed testing, and provides evidence that important insecticide classes remain effective in most U.S. regions of fruit production.
