UC Cooperative Extension and the California Strawberry Commission have a major entomology meeting planned for this upcoming September 18.  Topics covered will be lygus bugs, predatory mites, brown marmorated stinkbug, strategies regarding managing invasive pest invasions and a full suite of talks covering numerous facets  of the spotted wing drosophila.  Speakers are coming from academia, grower supported institutions and private industry and are among the most informed people on entomological topics on the Central Coast.  This meeting is not to be missed by anybody with an interest in insects and their management in strawberries and caneberries.
