DESCRIPTION:Spotted
  lanternfly (SLF) is an invasive species. It does not bite or sting but 
 is having an economic impact on New York State agriculture. SLF feed 
 exclusively on plants outdoors and can only survive for about 48 hours 
 without feeding on a plant. They can be a nuisance because of their 
 sheer numbers. While
  the list of spotted lanternfly host plants is long, the greatest 
 agricultural concern falls on grapes. Researchers estimate that, if left
  unchecked, the spotted lanternfly – which decimated vineyards in 
 Pennsylvania when it arrived in 2014 – could cause significant economic 
 losses to the New York state grape industry. New York state is the 
 third-largest wine producer in the country and a significant producer of
  juice grapes. All told, the state’s grape industry generated 
 approximately $15 billion in 2022 and comprises nearly 470 wineries and 
 900 vineyards, attracting 5 million visitors annually. Tree-of-heaven
  (TOH), or sometimes called "Ailanthus," is an invasive, pervasive and 
 problematic tree. TOH, or "Ailanthus," is the preferred host of fourth 
 instar and adult spotted lanternfly. When spotted lanternfly occurs in a
  new area the adults are most likely to be found on a tree-of-heaven. 
 However the feeding behavior varies depending on life stage.Presenters:Brian Eshenaur, Associate Director, Invasive Species IPM Coordinator, Cornell Integrated Pest Management Hans Walter-Peterson, Viticulture Extension Specialist, Cornell Cooperative Extension Emily Rojik, Penn State Extension Educator, Forestry and Wildlife Team Lydia Martin, Finger Lakes PRISM, Terrestrial Invasive Species Program ManagerTo join this webinar and learn what you need to know about SLF, Grapes, and TOH in the Finger Lakes, sign up online at: https://cornell.zoom.us/webinar/register/WN_O3IJFQA6SRe0LRCk7ZVHBw#/registrationNOTE:
