Abstract:
Recent advances in the biological control of Drosophila suzukii Matsumura are reviewed, including the application of parasitoids and predatory insects and entomopathogenic microorganisms. Research on the biological control of D. suzukii has focused on resource investigation and the control effect of parasitoids, most of the parasitoids of D. suzukii identified so far have been of the genus Asobara. Research on predatory natural enemies and entomopathogenic microorganisms has been conducted in the laboratory, rather than in the field. The future direction of research on the biological control of D. suzukii is discussed with the aim of providing a reference for the biological control of this pest.
