Cherry plantations are attacked by the pest, Rhagoletis cerasi L., causing significant damage to production, especially in late-maturing varieties.
Climate change has favored the appearance of the pest in the plantation much earlier, thus causing damage to both late-maturing and early-maturing varieties.
Research on monitoring and combating the pest Rhagoletis cerasi L. was conducted at RSFG IAȘI during 2023-2024. During the 2 years of study, Decis Trap traps were used, placed when the trees at BBCH 81, the earliest appearance of the pest was on 17.05.2023, and the latest appeared on 05.07.2023. The pest was controlled both with the help of Decis Trap traps, (80 per/ha) but also with the help of specific insecticides, recording an attack rate between 6.5% in 2023 and 4.5% in 2024.
