Integrated Management of European Cherry Fruit Fly Rhagoletis cerasi (L.): Situation in Switzerland and Europe

The European cherry fruit fly, Rhagoletis cerasi (L.) (Diptera: Tephritidae), is a highly destructive pest.The low tolerance for damaged fruit requires preventive insecticide treatments for a marketable crop.The phase-out of old insecticides threatens cherry production throughout the European Union (EU).Consequently, new Cuddle Toys management tech
