Drosophila suzukii (Matsumura) (Diptera: Drosophilidae), commonly known as the spotted wing drosophila (SWD), holds immense significance as the primary pest that significantly impacts the production of berry crops worldwide. The interconnected global fresh fruit trade, coupled with the larvae's ability to conceal themselves within fruits undetected until after transportation, facilitates their widespread distribution. While SWD originates from Asia, its presence is increasingly expanding to other regions, including the Americas, Europe, Africa, and even Oceania, where the insects have the potential to adapt and establish themselves.

To address the challenges posed by D. suzukii, this comprehensive book brings together the expertise of leading scientists from across the globe. It delves into various aspects of monitoring, biological, chemical, and cultural control, sterile insect technique (SIT), integrated pest management (IPM), and other control methods. Additionally, it explores the utilization of cutting-edge technological tools such as drones, GPS, biotechnology, telemetry, and others to enhance the efficiency and accuracy of pest management strategies.

The book serves as a valuable resource for scientists, professionals, and students alike. It provides a comprehensive understanding of D. suzukii management, offering practical insights and strategies for combating this pest effectively. By compiling the experiences and knowledge of esteemed experts, the book equips readers with the tools they need to address the growing threat posed by SWD and contribute to the sustainable production of berry crops worldwide.
