Drosophila suzukii (Matsumura) (Diptera: Drosophilidae) is a significant pest of berry cropsin Europe and beyond. The rise of worldwide markets and the unrestrictedmovement of commodities is heightening the risk of D. suzukii proliferation.The research was carried out from 2022 to 2023 in the village of Mirolyubovo,Burgas region, focusing on strawberry plantations of the "Buddy" and"Petra" kinds. Food traps, specifically the Suzukii Trap from"Bioiberica," together with traditional traps utilizing apple cidervinegar and red wine, were employed for monitoring purposes. The initial adult D.suzukii specimens in the food traps were detected in early June, coincidingwith the onset of fruit ripening. The pest's population density peaks duringthe mass ripening of fruits, coinciding with their maximum sugar content. Atelevated concentrations, D. suzukii may pose a significant threat toberry crops for fruit producers.
