Scientists battle cherry pests, diseases
Capital Press File
A Spotted Wing Drosophila trap hangs in a cherry tree at the
WSU Tree Fruit Research and Extension Center in Wenatchee,
Wash. Little Cherry Disease and Spotted Wing Drosophila
remain top concerns for scientists protecting Washington sweet
cherries.
Spotted wing drosophila
• A type of “vinegar fly”, its ability to feed and lay eggs on ripening fruit
makes it a significant threat to Pacific Northwest growers.
• Adult spotted wing drosophilas
are small with red eyes and
pale yellowish-brown bodies.
Spotted
wings
• Males have a dark spot on the
tips of their wings. They also
have two dark bands on their
front legs.
• Females lack the distinctive
dark spot on their wings. Look
for a large, serrated ovipositor
protruding from the abdomen.

and Cherry Fruit Fly was up
a little, she said. CFF is less
prevalent. Growers keep
tight control on it because it
results in quarantine.
Little Cherry Disease
was a big problem many de-
cades ago and has increased
with Wenatchee as the
hot spot.
The incurable pathogen
comes in three strains, robs
trees of energy, reduces pro-

duction and results in small
fruit that’s unmarketable.
Little Cherry Virus 1
and 2 take away fruit flavor
and the Western X Phyto-
plasma strain leaves bit-
ter-tasting fruit. The patho-
gen overwinters in roots
and spreads tree-to-tree in
roots.

WENATCHEE, Wash.
— Spotted Wing Drosoph-
ila, now in its ninth year
of being tracked in Cen-
tral Washington, no longer
is the huge worry it once
was, but scientists continue
to combat it, Little Cher-
ry Disease and other sweet
cherry ailments.
SWD is an Asian pest
first detected in the U.S.
in California strawber-
ries in 2008. It moved into
berries in Oregon’s Willa-
mette Valley and into Cen-
tral Washington cherries in
2010.
The initial fear was it
could devastate cherries.
Scientists didn’t know how
severe it might become.
“We’re learning to live
with it. We have no choice.
We’ve come a long way. We
have better knowledge of
its biology, distribution and
management and we’re not
as alarmed as we once were.
It’s more familiar,” says
Elizabeth Beers, Washing-
ton State University ento-
mologist in Wenatchee and
lead scientist on the pest’s
case in Washington since
2010.
A total of 44 SWD were
found in Central Washing-
ton cherry packing hous-
es in 2013, nearly none in
2014, around 250 in 2015,
about 30 in 2016 and eight
in 2017, Beers said. A mild
winter likely contribut-
ed to the 2015 spike, she
said.
It is contained with mod-
erately broad spectrum pes-
ticides when cherries turn
from green to yellow and
until harvest.
SWD was down in 2017
and 2016 studies show leaf-
hoppers carry Western X.
Bugs can be sprayed
but the best combat is re-
moving infected trees and
trees around them and not
replanting for while, sci-
entists say. The disease
spreads slowly.
More than 1,000 acres
of cherry orchards in the
Wenatchee area have been
removed because of the
disease in the past sever-
al years. Orchards have
been removed in Oron-
do, Mattawa and Benton
City.
There was a general in-
crease of LCD in 2017, said
Scott Harper, WSU plant
pathologist in Prosser.
Harper is developing
real time Polymerase Chain
Reaction testing, more sen-
sitive to lower amounts of
infection in leaves and tree
tissue, to detect the disease
before symptoms show so
that trees can be removed
earlier and reduce chance of
spread.
Western X has been
showing up in young cherry
trees with no known infes-
tations nearby, Harper said.
Another project is trying to
determine how that happens
and if it’s coming from un-
known hosts.
LCD runs 10 to 30 per-
cent infection rates which
is high enough to be a con-
cern, Harper said.
Cherry Rasp Leaf Virus
is increasing but probably
less than 5 percent, so it’s
not alarming, he said.
Cherry Leafroll Vi-
rus, Prune Dwarf Vi-
rus and Prunus Necrotic
Ringspot Virus have been
around a long time and
continue at low levels, he
said.

BOISE — The wife of Ida-
ho’s late Secretary of State Pete
Cenarrusa, known during his
day as a champion of agricul-
ture, has donated $100,000 to
the Idaho FFA Foundation in
honor of her husband.
The donation was an-
nounced Jan. 29 during Idaho
FFA’s annual “Day on the Hill”
event, which is named after
Pete Cenarrusa, who died in
2013. He started the first agri-
culture classes at Cambridge
and Carey high schools and
was a strong supporter of Idaho
agriculture.
His wife, Freda Cenarrusa,
raised the money by selling a
piece of property near Carey
the couple lived on during their
sheep ranching days.
“I just want to say I’m hap-
py, you’re happy and Pete is
ecstatic,” she told hundreds of
FFA members, legislators and
members of the state’s agricul-
ture industry after the gift was
announced.
The money will be used to
establish the Idaho FFA Foun-
dation Pete and Freda Cenar-
rusa Endowment Fund, which
will provide financial support
annually to help fund leader-
ship and career development
programs for FFA members.
“This $100,000 gift from
Freda Cenarrusa in honor of
Pete Cenarrusa is an amazing
legacy gift for Idaho FFA,”
Idaho FFA Foundation Exec-
utive Director Laura Wilder
told Capital Press. “This gift
will help fund Idaho FFA ca-
reer and leadership develop-
ment activities for Idaho FFA
members, forever.”
The annual dividends gen-
erated by the endowment will
go to the Idaho FFA Founda-
tion’s general fund and will be
allocated by members of the
group’s board of trustees to the
areas of greatest need, she said.
“We have so many opportu-
nities for our students to devel-
op career and leadership skills
and this really helps us use the
money to benefit the most stu-
dents with the greatest need,”
Wilder said.
Hundreds of FFA members,
wearing their iconic blue jack-
ets, descend on Boise every
year for the “Day on the Hill”
event, where they meet face-to-
face with lawmakers and expe-
rience first-hand how laws are
passed.
They also meet with leaders
of the state’s agriculture indus-
try and members of Idaho’s
farm commissions.
“It’s good to see them in-
teract with legislators,” said
Rep. Scott Bedke, a Republi-
can rancher from Oakley and
speaker of the House. “It re-
minds these legislators that rep-
resent suburban districts how
important agriculture is.”
Bedke, a former FFA mem-
ber, said lawmakers attend a lot
of functions during the legisla-
tive session “but there are none
more important that this one.”
Tom Clifton, an FFA advis-
er in Jerome, said the event is
the first chance a lot of young-
er FFA members have to par-
ticipate in a major leadership
event and for the older ones,
“it’s sort of a reinforcement
of what they’ve learned, what
they’ve been going through
the last three or for years. It’s
a wonderful event for these
kids to keep them on the right
track.”
He said the forum is also a
great reminder to legislators of
the important role agriculture
plays in Idaho’s economy.
“They know what the life-
blood of Idaho is and it’s ag-
riculture and it’s good that the
kids reinforce that,” Clifton
said.
