Spotted Lanternfly and the Potential Impacts on the Maple Syrup Industry
November 16, 2022 @ 10:00 am - 11:00 am
Hosted by the Penn State Extension, Educator Brian Walsh, will discuss what is known about the spotted lanternfly and observations about maple trees that provide insight as to the impact the insect could have on the industry.
Ever since the spotted lanternfly was found in Southeast Pennsylvania, it has been causing damage to agricultural plants as well as non-agricultural plants. As the insect continues to expand its range, more is being learned about the insect’s lifecycle and its feeding habitats. Since the spotted lanternfly can feed very heavily upon certain tree species, the insect can potentially impact the maple syrup industry.
