Show Notes
In this episode we are joined by Dr. Hannah Burrack, Professor of Entomology and Extension Specialist at North Carolina State University. Hannah’s research for the last 15 years at NC State has focused on understanding the ecology of arthropod pests in a variety of specialty crops including small fruit, which has helped shape many of the pest management approaches that we recommend across the Southeast today. Hannah came on the podcast to give use the low-down on spotted wing drosophila, and discuss other arthropod pests in a variety of small fruit crops. Specifically, Hannah provided wonderful insight into the last 10 years of spotted wing drosophila research and did an excellent job telling us what that research means for people trying to manage this pest.
