The small white worms you may sometimes notice in the fruit you pick from your cherry tree are nothing more than the larvae laid by the cherry fly.
If you are concerned about this problem, listen to the advice of the expert of the online publication "BelNovosti", scientist-agronomist, landscape designer Anastasia Kovrizhnykh .
According to her, the most effective means of combating the pest is a systemic chemical containing acetamiprid – “Mospilan”.
The right time to treat the garden is during the period of numerous fly appearances and mass egg laying.
If the swarming of flies can be characterized as prolonged, it is allowed to carry out 2-3 more treatments using preparations that belong to other chemical groups.
In addition, you can take additional preventive measures to prevent the fly from ruining your crops.
For example, planting early varieties of cherries is very helpful – they bear fruit before the parasite begins to reproduce en masse.
In addition, do not forget to spread a thick net or spunbond under the trees so that the worms from the berries do not crawl into the ground, where they remain for the winter, and in the next season they emerge as adults.
