The invasive fruit fly spotted wing drosophila (SWD) [Drosophila suzukii (Matsumura)] disrupted Integrated pest management (IPM) in the U.S. small fruit production. In order to exploit SWDs' optimal climate conditions, an experimental trellis was examined in blackberries. The aim was to open the canopy to increase light penetration and temperature and reduce relative humidity. A less favorable environment might reduce pesticide applications and can be a helpful IPM tool.
