Spotted wing drosophila ( SWD) and brown marmorated stink bug ( BMSB) are invasive pests that have or will have an impact on horticultural crops in Ontario. OMAF and MRA specialists along with University of Guelph and Vineland Research and Innovation Centre have been investigating these pests for several years. We would like to share with horticulture consultants what we have found.
