Product description:Biology:The vinegar fly is about 3 mm in size and belongs to the fruit or vinegar fly family (Drosophilidae). In contrast to native vinegar flies, however, the female of the vinegar fly is able to pierce the healthy, ripening fruits that are still on the plant with the help of a saw-like laying borer and lay eggs in these with typical thread-like respiratory appendages. After just one day, the larva can hatch from the egg. The larvae feed inside the berry and pupate there as well. Since the development time is relatively short, several generations can occur per season (optimal temperature approx. 25°C). Crops:Dark berries are preferred. All berry-like or soft-skinned fruits: cherry, strawberry, blackberry, raspberry, gooseberry, currant, blueberry, elderberry, plum, peach, nectarine, apricot, fig, kiwi, grape, black cherry, laurel cherry and other types of berries.Application:for: Infestation reduction in mainly dark soft fruitAgainst: Cherry vinegar fliesProperties:Monitoring trap for infestation determination with special attractant easy handling Damage pattern:Set up the bait trap before the cherry vinegar fly invades over the berry fields. From June/September onwards, increasing infestation of healthy fruits that are still attached to the plant and can collapse within a short time. They usually contain several legless, white fly maggots. Less heavily infested fruits can continue to appear externally intact for a long time. Secondary infestation with fungi or bacteria often occurs. The damage can be up to 100%. Instructions for use:To reduce infestation, several cherry vinegar fly bait traps should be hung in the immediate vicinity at intervals of 2 m to 3 m in the immediate vicinity or in the case of infestation. Bait traps should be placed at the level of the fruit set. Lure fluid should be replaced after four weeks at the latest. Do not empty attractant in the crop or compost, but into the sink. Infested fruits should not be disposed of in the compost. Package size: 1 trap with 50 ml lure.
