What is Pruning of small fruit crops can affect habitat suitability for Drosophila suzukii about?

Insect activity, survival, and development are affected by climatic conditions that elicit effects at multiple scales. Pruning small fruit crop canopies alters the microclimate, which in turn may influence insect pest activity. We investigated the effect of three canopy density treatments (high, medium, low) on Drosophila suzukii (Matsumura) (Diptera: Drosophilidae) fruit infestation in blueberries and caneberries using a two-year, multistate experiment. We quantified the effect of canopy density on canopy microclimate, fruit quality (total soluble solids, fruit firmness), and yield. To better understand heterogeneity in canopy microclimate, parameters were further separated by canopy location (exterior vs. interior) in Maryland. In both crops, meta-analyses reveal small magnitude effects of the plant canopy on microclimate, whereas analysis of variance did not separate these effects, with mean canopy differences of 0.1-0.7 °C and 0.5-1.3 % relative humidity (RH) between caneberry canopy densities and locations. In caneberry multi-state trials, 0.14 fewer D. suzukii larvae (g fruit) -1 occurred on average in the low canopy density treatment, and 0.2 fewer D. suzukii larvae (g fruit
