Description

As the agency reported it.

Purpose
To prevent the establishment of oriental fruit fly (off), bactrocera dorsalis (HENDEL), the cdfa has initiated an eradication project in response to the detection of eight adult off in the garden grove area of orange county, during the period between october 22 and october 29, 2024. The quarantine was effective october 31, 2024, and originally encompassed 87 square miles, but has expanded to 88 square miles in size. The purpose of this award is to conduct trapping delimitation array, eradication treatments (insecticide treatments and fruit removal) and quarantine enforcement around the off detection sites, and to continue early detection of new off infestations. 2.
Activities
Delimitation trapping with jackson and mcphail traps will occur over 107 square miles. Foliar bait treatments (GROUND) will take place over 200 meters around all adult detection sites for one life cycle beyond the last fly detected. GROUND bait spray containing spinosad will be applied to all properties within a 200-meter radius of each fly detection site for one lifecycle, repeated every seven to 14 days. Male attractant treatment (mat) will have 300 bait stations applied to inanimate objects every two weeks throughout a nine square mile area around each detection site. Treatments will continue for two life cycles beyond the last fly detected. Larval survey will be conducted over 200 meters around all detection sites. If larvae, a mated female, or multiple adult flies are found at a property, host fruit will be removed. Quarantine work will be done to regulate the movement of host material, including issuing compliance agreements and hold notices. Intensive post-treatment trapping will occur for three lifecycles after the last fly is detected. The trapping and survey crew will be trained in trap placement, preliminary identification, environmental compliance, laws and regulations, and proper sample submission procedures. Samples will be sent to the plant pest diagnostics center (PPDC) for identification. The quarantine and regulated area activities will be performed by the USDA, cdfa, and county agricultural commissioner's (CAC) staff. 3. Deliverables and expected outcomes: the successful implementation of the detection, treatment, and quarantine activities will eradicate the off from california. Intensive post-treatment trapping will be maintained throughout the project areas for three life cycles after the last fly is detected. This high level of trapping will determine the effectiveness of the program. A tabulation of the number of sites sampled and the number of positive samples submitted can be used to determine if the survey efforts were sufficient. If no additional offs are detected, the project will be terminated, and the quarantine lifted. 4. Intended beneficiary(IES): the establishment of the off would have a dramatic impact on the environment and economic wellness of california and the nation. Off in california would require extensive use of pesticides both in urban and commercial settings. The resulting quarantines against exported california grown commodities would have an immediate impact on california's ability to compete in the international export trade arena. These infestations pose a serious threat to the united states' agricultural industry, and particularly to california's $59.4 billion agricultural industry. 5. Subrecipient activities, if known or specified at the time of award: orange county agricultural department, the california conservation corps (CCC), cooperative agricultural support services (CASS), university of california davis medical supervision (UCD), office of environmental health hazard (OEHHA), department of pesticide regulation (DPR), california highway patrol (CHP), hazardous waste, legal advertisements for treatments, outreach services, and the pesticide treatment contractor will all receive contracts.
