Summary

The black cherry aphid (Myzus cerasi) is the main pest in modern organic table cherry production. Especially in orchards with installed rain protection and insect nets, strong aphid populations can build up what can lead to large yield losses and tree damages. At FiBL for many years different products and strategies to regulate M. cerasi were tested. In different trials paraffin oil applications at the beginning of bud swelling showed to be effective to kill fundatrices in the eggs or shortly after hatching.
