Controlling cherry fruit fly under organic farming in France: Hopes and despairs

摘要

Cherry Fruit Fly is still a very damaging pest in Europe, and control measures so far are not fully convincing. Alternatives to chemicals show intermediate levels of efficacy, and growers can not rely on them yet. Although nets offered a very sufficient protection to trees, they do not appear like a easy-to-adapt solution, in traditional orchards. Efforts must be continued to assess new active matters and new strategies, especially while an important new threat occurs, Drosophila suzukii.
