Abstract
Rhageletis cerasi (L.) is the most important pest in cherry orchards and it’s attak can affect the quality of fruit on a large percentage (45-100%). The European cherry fruit fly is prezent in all cherry and sweet cherry orchards, therefore monitoring this population is required as an element of integrated protection. The aim of this study is to establish population dynamics in Cluj area. Adult flight was monitored twice a week on yellow sticky panels. Traps were placed in different parts of the orchard. The first captures were recorded in May 29, with a number of 4 adults/orchard and in 24 June we recorded the maximum number, 89 adults/orchard. By monitoring population dynamics we can determine the correct time for application of chemical treatments.
