US: Finger Lakes Vineyards warned about threat of stink bugs

Mar 25, 2011

The stink from stink bugs is just the start -- not only do the pests feast on local fruit, they could imperil the state's wine industry, grape growers have been warned. At the 60th annual Finger Lakes Grape Growers' Conference held in Waterloo, about 300 grape growers, winemakers and extension educators were introduced to two new invasive insects that are expected to make their first appearance in the Finger Lakes region this summer: the spotted wing fruit fly and the brown marmorated stink bug.
