Postharvest Treatments to Eliminate Invasive Pests of Concern to the California Table Grape Industry

Evaluate and develop postharvest treatments such as methyl bromide, CO2/SO2, phosphine, ozone, ultralow oxygen and cold treatments to eliminate invasive pests of concern to the California table grape industry that serve as trade barriers. The invasive pests of concern are spotted wing drosophila (SWD)(Drosophila suzukii), European grapevine moth (EVGM)(Lobesia botrana), and the newest invasive, the brown marmorated stink bug (BMSB)(Halyomorpha halys).
