Abstract

The study examines the signaling of the pest Drosophila suzukii (Matsumura 1931) (Diptera: Drosophilidae) in a mixed raspberry and blackberry plantation in Perișor, Dolj, in the Oltenia region of Romania. The main objective is to assess the impact of the pest on the crops and to explore control measures. Monitoring the presence of the pest, analyzing its insecticide tolerance, and evaluating its effects on fruit quality are the main aspects investigated. The importance of early detection and the implementation of efficient management strategies to minimize crop losses are highlighted. Drosophila suzukii has become a global threat to fruit crops, causing significant economic losses (Roșca, M., et al., 2021).
