SAES-422 Multistate Research Activity Accomplishments Report
Sections
Status: Approved
Basic Information
- Project No. and Title: W504 : Biology and Management of Spotted Wing Drosophila in Small and Stone Fruits
- Period Covered: 12/01/2009 to 09/01/2011
- Date of Report: 09/13/2011
- Annual Meeting Dates: 11/11/2010 to 11/11/2010
Participants
W 504 met during the Spotted Wing Drosophila SCRI Meeting in Portland, Oregon held November 11, 2010. W-504 participants are listed under SWD key personnel and under Other participants in the attached participant list. This "official" meeting of W-504 followed a Public Forum meeting hosted by Oregon State University on March 30, 2010 at the Portland Airport Sheraton Hotel. During the morning session, scientists from Washington, Oregon, California, and Canada shared their research progress to date.
Administrative Advisor Stella Coakley provided a background for W-504 and its creation prior to the funding of the SWD SCRI. Having this project allows the western group to learn from states not involved, and create a national response strategy. Provided an explanation of the NIMSS, importance of multi-state integrated projects. Generate national recognition for the project among AES Directors and the Extension system.
Presenters: (In addition to the SCRI personnel who presented earlier in the day)

Jim Price, U of FL
Derek Van Timmerman, MSU (for Rufus Isaacs)

Accomplishments
Short-term Outcomes:
Provision of information exchange between multi-states on research and related extension activities needed for management of the Spotted Wing Drosophila pest.
A stakeholder meeting was held in Portland, Oregon on March 30, 2010. Approximately 20 scientists participated from state, federal, private industry in the morning session; the afternoon session provided approximately 130 stakeholder/industry/extension agent participants to learn about the pest and to do hands-on projects including identification of SWD and lifecyle, building monitoring traps, detection of pest, introduction of SWD website, reporting data, reviewing control options, etc.
Following the November 11, 2011 session with stakeholders, the SWD SCRI scientists were joined by other W504 members for an Adobe Connect conference in March 2011. Publications are pending from that full-day session. The fall meeting for the SWD SCRI Stakeholder Advisory group is scheduled for November 9-10, 2011. Members of W 504 will meet jointly with them. A new five-year project to succeed W 504 is being planned.

Impacts
- Created a framework for multi-state cooperation and collaboration around control of the new spotted wing drosophila pest which appeared in California and spread to Oregon, Washington, and Canada.
- Determining the most effective sustainable control options for SWD based on effective monitoring, susceptible life stages, timing of control.
- Training programs for identification and management have been developed and resources provided to growers
- Provides access for researchers/extension across the U.S.A. to a nationally important pest
- Creation of Rapid Response project allowed the coordination and development of human capital far beyond the western regional focus started.
