Workgroup Information Exotic Fruit Fly |
|
| Summary | Coordinates the Annual Exotic Fruit Fly Research meeting bringing international research participants together from industry, academia and government research and regulatory agencies. Develop annual priorities for fruit fly research and improved coordination between researchers, industry, and regulators. The workgroup also contributes to facilitating discussions on olive fly management and biology among various institutions, agencies, and organizations within California. Management guidelines are updated annually so growers can better control this new invasive species. |
