Direct regulation of the black cherry aphid in organic table cherry production
The black cherry aphid (Myzus cerasi) is the main pest in modern organic table cherry production. In orchards with installed rain protection and insect nets, robust aphid populations can build up, leading to significant yield losses and tree damage. The black cherry aphid can be indirectly and directly regulated. This practice abstract gives recommendations for […]
List of varieties recommended for organic table cherry production (BIOFRUITNET Practice Abstract)

In cherry production, blossom blight and brown rot (Monilia) are the most important diseases to cause fruit losses. Besides covering the cherry trees to prevent infections, less susceptible cultivars can be planted.
