Résumé
The invasive pest Drosophila suzukii poses a significant threat to several fruit crops worldwide. End consumers are increasingly expressing concerns about chemical crop protection products due to their environmental impact. This study evaluates the potential of so-called dead-end plants as ecological traps for D. suzukii to reduce population density. In a series of controlled choice-tests, the preference for oviposition and complete development to imago of D. suzukii on selected dead-end plants was investigated and compared to blueberries as a standard host. Fruits of Phytolacca acinosa, Pyracantha coccinea, Cornus mas, Prunus laurocerasus, Cornus sanguinea and Cotoneaster divaricatus were tested as potential dead-end plants. The data suggest that certain plant characteristics may discourage successful development of D. suzukii larvae, potentially offering a non-chemical approach for pest management. Further research is needed to refine plant selection criteria and optimize the implementation of dead-end plants in practical agricultural settings.
