Summary in the original language of the document

Controlling so-called secondary pests is a growing concern for arboriculturists. The greater selectivity of the plant protection methods partly explains the increase in their presence. In the current phytosanitary context, it is essential to characterize the risks and identify the solutions available to control these pests. The apple maggot is a pest whose damage intensity in orchards the intensity of damage in orchards has increased over the last few decades in many regions of Europe. Several studies report damage intensities of up to up to 90%, calling into question the medium-term profitability of the crop in the medium term.


Summary translation

Le contrôle des ravageurs dits secondaires préoccupe de plus en plus les arboriculteurs. La plus grande sélectivité des méthodes de protection phytosanitaire utilisées explique en partie l’augmentation de leur présence. Dans le contexte phytosanitaire actuel, il est primordial de caractériser les risques et d’identifier les solutions disponibles pour contrôler ces ravageurs. L’anthonome du pommier est un ravageur dont l’intensité des dégâts en verger a augmenté au cours des dernières décennies dans de nombreuses régions en Europe. Plusieurs travaux rapportent une intensité des dégâts pouvant atteindre 90%, remettant en cause la rentabilité économique à moyen terme de la culture.
