abstract: State of the Art:
No efficient control strategies are available to control the cherry fruit fly(Rhagoletis cerasi) in organic agriculture.
Definition of the problem:
The European cherry fruit fly is the main pest insect in sweet cherry production.
Project aims:
Developing strategies to control the cherry fruit fly in organic agriculture in order to advance the sweet cherry production.
Methodology:
Laboratory and field studies on natural enemies (parasitoids, entomopathogenic nematodes and fungi).
Laboratory and field screening of repellents and organic insecticides.
Evaluation of traps and lures for mass-trapping.
Exclusion of flies with insect-nets.
Development of a temperature-based forecasting-model.
