Virginia Polytechnic Institute & State University (Virginia Tech) received a $420,000 Project Grant from the U.S. Department of Agriculture Forest Service under the Forest Health Protection program (CFDA 10.680) on September 18, 2025, with a completion date of September 17, 2030. The award, performed in Virginia, funds research to assess the role and potential impact of the Eastern strain silver flies discovered on hemlock woolly adelgid (HWA) in the eastern United States. This effort focuses on biological control organisms that were unintentionally collected over the past three years, evaluating their efficacy and suitability for potential deployment in HWA management strategies across the region. The Forest Health Protection program supports efforts to protect and manage non-federal forest and tree resources from invasive insects, disease agents, and invasive plants through detection, monitoring, and biological control initiatives. Virginia Tech's research will contribute to the broader national effort to manage HWA, a significant forest health threat affecting eastern hemlock ecosystems. The five-year project period allows for comprehensive evaluation of the silver fly populations and their potential as a biological control agent for this invasive pest species.Federal Project Grant Award Summary
