Other claims from this paper (6)
- Observation D. suzukii larvae feeding in fresh blueberries produce broad-band vibration pulses (0.1–2 kHz) with amplitudes of 12.1–946 µm/s.
- Observation Vibration amplitude of infested blueberries increased gradually up to 168–216 h after infestation.
- Observation Vibration amplitude decreased after 168–216 h until fly emergence.
- Intervention effect Low-infested blueberries showed faster D. suzukii development time than high-infested blueberries.
- Intervention effect Low-infested blueberries reached peak vibration amplitude at an earlier stage than high-infested ones.
- Observation The vibration analysis distinguishes between different pest ages and infestation levels in blueberries.
