KXplores Emerging Research: Ashley tracks the spotted lanternfly
Update: 2023-05-25
Description
Invasive pest, the spotted lanternfly (SLF), has been reported in four Ohio counties and 14 U.S. states. The brightly colored red and grey leafhopper poses an economic threat to Ohio’s specialty crop producers. Entomologist Dr. Ashley Leach’s new research project detects SLF in the environment using biomonitoring, a process that tests for DNA left behind by the destructive pest. Early detection of the SLF could help producers better prepare and possibly reduce the damaging effects of SLF.
