The global soft fruit industry suffers up to 80% crop losses from an invasive fruit fly, spotted wing drosophila (SWD). Growers rely on chemical insecticides to protect fruit from SWD, costing £11bn. We have identified a SWD pathogenic fungus and a bait which SWD feeds on. In this project we will test these two approaches in combination, to develop a more targeted and less environmentally damaging approach to SWD control. This strategy will be a first for this global pest and enable fruit growers to reduce insecticide inputs and residues, offering a potentially game-changing solution to SWD.

全球软果业因一种入侵的果蝇--斑点果蝇(SWD)而遭受高达80%的作物损失。种植者依靠化学杀虫剂来保护水果免受SWD的侵袭，耗资110亿英镑。我们已经确定了一种SWD致病真菌和一种SWD赖以生存的诱饵。在这个项目中，我们将测试这两种方法的组合，以制定一种更有针对性和更少破坏环境的方法来控制社署。这一战略将是这种全球害虫的第一次，并使果农能够减少杀虫剂的投入和残留，为社署提供了一个潜在的改变游戏规则的解决方案。
