Control of spotted wing drosophila (SWD), which attacks high-value soft fruit, a £2.7bn market in Europe and North America, relies on chemical insecticides.This project will develop and validate Zyzzle's innovative farm-focused sterile insect technique (SIT) SWD solution by conducting trials in controlled and commercial settings. SIT can improve crop yield compared to chemicals, increasing agricultural productivity. It is species-specific and non-toxic, protecting biodiversity and facilitating adoption of organic farming; hence it improves sustainability and reduces emissions.This project is a collaboration between Zyzzle, NIAB, a world-leading authority on SWD, and Berry Gardens Growers, the UK's leading berry organisation.

斑翅果蝇（SWD）攻击价值27亿英镑的高价值软水果，其控制依赖于化学杀虫剂。该项目将通过在控制和商业环境中进行试验，开发和验证Zyzzle创新的以农场为重点的昆虫不育技术（SIT） SWD解决方案。与化学品相比，SIT可以提高作物产量，提高农业生产力。它是物种特异性和无毒的，保护生物多样性和促进采用有机农业；因此，它提高了可持续性并减少了排放。该项目是Zyzzle、NIAB（世界领先的SWD权威机构）和Berry Gardens Growers（英国领先的浆果组织）之间的合作。
