<div dir="ltr">Yes, first saw it in nectarine mid-September two years ago. Very ripe, but intact fruit still on trees. SWD love damaged peaches, try to get them all picked before they get too soft. I was in a peach orchard recently where the grower had too many peaches to sell. Many soft ones left on trees, and many on ground -- loaded with SWD. This year has been like nothing I've ever seen with these little guys...<div><br></div><div>Jon</div></div><div class="gmail_extra"><br><div class="gmail_quote">On Mon, Sep 18, 2017 at 1:10 PM, Glen Koehler <span dir="ltr"><<a href="mailto:glen.koehler@maine.edu" target="_blank">glen.koehler@maine.edu</a>></span> wrote:<br><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0 0 0 .8ex;border-left:1px #ccc solid;padding-left:1ex"><div class="HOEnZb"><div class="h5"><div dir="ltr">Case in Maine that appears to be SWD attack on intact peaches without splits or other prior wounds. These peaches were ripening on the tree but not over-ripe and no splits etc. for easy drosophila oviposition without having to cut through skin. Until now it seemed that SWD could only lay eggs in peaches with pre-existing wound. Have other folks seen SWD infestation of intact peaches? <br><div><div><div><div><br><br clear="all"><div><div class="m_-6400686786942003718gmail_signature" data-smartmail="gmail_signature"><div dir="ltr"><div><div dir="ltr"><div dir="ltr"><div dir="ltr"><div dir="ltr"><div dir="ltr"><div dir="ltr"><div dir="ltr">Glen Koehler<br>University of Maine Cooperative Extension<br>Pest Management Office<br>Voice: Office <a href="tel:(207)%20581-3882" value="+12075813882" target="_blank">207-581-3882</a>, Cell <a href="tel:(207)%20485-0918" value="+12074850918" target="_blank">207-485-0918</a><br>491 College Avenue, Orono, ME 04473<br>UMaine Apple IPM <a href="https://extension.umaine.edu/ipm/programs/apple/" target="_blank">https://extension.umaine.<wbr>edu/ipm/programs/apple/</a><br>Ag-Radar <a href="https://extension.umaine.edu/ipm/ag-radar-apple-sites" target="_blank">https://extension.<wbr>umaine.edu/ipm/ag-radar-apple-<wbr>sites</a><div><font size="1"><i>Our Changing Climate: It's Real, It's Us, It's Bad, Experts Agree.
