Yeh DA, Dai B, Gómez MI and Walton VM, Does monitoring pests pay off? A bioeconomic assessment of Drosophila suzukii controls. Pest Manag Sci 80:708–723 (2024). https://doi.org/10.1002/ps.7801

(1) In column 7 of Table 5 in the ‘3 RESULTS’ section, the values of ‘S4: Fruit sampling to guide spraying and harvesting’ were incorrect. The correct values are highlighted below.

(2) In Fig. 2 and Fig. 3 of the ‘3 RESULTS’ section, the strategy ‘S4: Fruit sampling to guide spraying and harvesting’ were incorrect. The correct figures with the changes are shown below.

(4) In paragraph 2 of the ‘3.2 Economic outcomes of control strategies’ section, the text ‘Compared to a fixed harvest schedule of nine times per season (e.g., strategy S3), S4 has 26 harvests on average.’ was incorrect. This should have read: ‘Compared to a fixed harvest schedule of nine times per season (e.g., strategy S3), S4 has 20 harvests on average.’

(5) In paragraph 2 of the ‘3.2 Economic outcomes of control strategies’ section, the text ‘Nonetheless, S4 results in a lower rejection rate because of more frequent harvesting (decrease from 2% in S3 to 1.8% in S4).’ was incorrect. This should have read: ‘Nonetheless, S4 results in a lower rejection rate because of more frequent harvesting (decrease from 2% in S3 to 1% in S4).’

(6) In paragraph 1 of the ‘4 Discussion and Conclusion’ section. The text ‘The simulation results show that profit ranges from $75 483 to $115 776 per farm.’ was incorrect. This should have read: ‘The simulation results show that profit ranges from $75 483 to $112 302 per farm.’

(7) In column 7 of Tables A1–A6 in the ‘5 Appendix’ section, the values of ‘S4: Fruit sampling to guide spraying and harvesting’ were incorrect. The correct values are highlighted below.

We apologize for the error.
