Western Cherry Fruit Fly

Posted on: May 20, 2016 by Paul Castrovillo

Four specimens of Western Cherry Fruit Fly (Rhagoletis indifferens) were found in an Idaho State Department of Agriculture WCFF survey trap in Canyon County that was checked on May 16. These were the first specimens captured in 2016. Our traps in Gem County, checked the same day, contained no WCFF, however, historically we expect to find them there about a week after the initial catch in Canyon County.

Now is the time to begin treatment for WCFF.

Please check with your local county extension educator or crop consultant for the situation in your area and for proper chemical recommendations and application methods if necessary.
