Use of methyl bromide to eliminate SWD

Author: Spencer S. Walse

Published: 2011

Summary: The purpose of this study was to demonstrate the insecticidal efficacy of postharvest methyl bromide fumigation toward spotted wing drosophila in sweet cherries, including the exports to Australia, which are treated for 2-h with a 64 mg/L dose at 43 < T < 54°F, a 48 mg/L dose at 54 < T < 63°F, and a 40 mg/L dose at 63 < T < 72°F.
