Cherries are many people's favorite seasonal berry.
However, the delicacy of eating it can be marred by the presence of worms in it.
Let's figure out what preventive measures exist and how to get rid of pests after you've discovered them in the fruit.
Preventive measures
To prevent worms from appearing in the berries, prevention must be carried out in advance.
To do this, you need to dig up the soil around the trunk at a distance of at least 40 cm in the fall, and in the spring, treat the plantings with copper oxychloride.
To prepare the solution, take 40 grams of the product per 10 liters of water. Alternatively, you can use copper sulfate, but you will have to take twice as much.
How to get rid of worms in fruits
Getting rid of worms in fruits that have already been removed from the tree will not be difficult.
Lightly salt the water and soak the berries in it for 30 minutes. A salt concentration of 1 teaspoon per 1 liter of water is enough to ensure that all the worms leave the berries during this time.
