Heimische Drosophila Parasitoide für die natürliche
Regulierung der Kirschessigfliege, Drosophila suzukii M., einem
invasiven Schaderreger im ökologischen Obstanbau
The invasive fruit pest Drosophila suzukii from Asia currently spreads in Germany
without being regulated by adapted specific natural enemies. Due to its polyphagous
nature, D. suzukii causes high risk in various soft fruit crops, especially since weather
and wild host plants provide suitable conditions for population outbreaks. Ongoing
research aims to identify native parasitoids of Drosophilidae in Germany and tries to
assess their ability for natural control as well as their suitability for being used as
biological control agents in pest management of D. suzukii
