Grants to fight spotted wing fly
This bill would create a Spotted Wing Drosophila Research and Mitigation Fund at the Department of Agriculture.

The fund would support research and on-the-ground actions to reduce damage from spotted wing drosophila to berries and other fruit crops. The bill would authorize $6.5 million for the fund in the fiscal year it is enacted and $6.5 million for each of the four fiscal years after that.
