  • Proper layout, design and cultivar selection will improve the success of the enterprise.
  • Carefully think through and plan how you will manage spotted wing drosophila; good cultural practices (i.e., not leaving berries on the ground), traps to detect, physical barriers and pesticides should be used or considered as components of your management.
