LEXINGTON, Ky. — Spotted wing drosophila (SWD) activity is increasing based on positive samples from several western, southern, and central Kentucky counties. We are still collecting negative samples from some counties, including farms in the same counties where other farms have been positive for several weeks. As this pest has been detected earlier each year, we began trapping in late April, and we did get a few early captures. However, this past week we detected increased activity that is more wide spread (Figures 1 & 2). Relatively high numbers have been detected in Pulaski, Oldham, Crittenden, and Daviess counties. This increase in activity is earlier than what we have experienced in preceding years.
