Abstract
Up to 2017, the Lac Saint-Jean region (Quebec, Canada) produced lowbush blueberries ( Vaccinium angustifolium Aiton) without insecticide treatments. In 2018, the Canadian Food Inspection Agency detected adults of the blueberry maggot ( Rhagoletis mendax Tephritidae) in the Regional County Municipality (RCM) of Maria-Chapdelaine. Monitoring programs of adults and larvae conducted in 2019, 2020, and 2021 confirmed the establishment of R. mendax in the RCM of Maria-Chapdelaine, as well as in the RCM Domaine-du-Roy. In compliance with Directive D-02-04 of the Canadian Food Inspection Agency, blueberry growers of infested areas of Lac Saint-Jean that ship blueberries to noninfested areas must implement an integrated pest management program or a calendar spray program.
