The spotted lanternfly, which devastated vineyards in Pennsylvania since its arrival in 2014, poses significant threats to New York's grape industry. Research estimates potential economic losses due to this pest could reach $1.5 million, $4 million, and $8.8 million over three years without management. Guidelines and insights from the study, published in the Journal of Integrated Pest Management, emphasize the need for proactive measures against the pest and underline its implications for both growers and lawmakers concerned with economic impacts.
Researchers estimate that, if left unchecked, the spotted lanternfly could cause significant economic losses to New York's grape industry, potentially reaching $8.8 million in three years.
It's important to have something like this so that growers can understand that they need to take spotted lanternfly seriously; the industry must grasp the impacts if nothing is done.
