Worms in my pears. Pear midge
About a year ago I asked about Worms in my pears in:
http://groups.google.com/group/uk.re...a59d3da0b8de42 The diagnose was Pear midge. I tried to catch the falling pears in a net. But it was of no use since most of the maggots had already left the pears. I also covered up the ground and found a significant number of maggots dead on the cover. Unfortunately I got some heavy rain so some of the maggots was flushed of the cover. In addition to this I covered the ground in the spring, if it made any difference I don't know. All this seemed to make a difference, the ratio affected to unaffected pears was significantly lower this year. But unfortunately, we had bad pollination this spring so the number of unaffected pears are low too. I did no see a single bee in the tree this spring, just some bumblebees, I think I have to find a beekeeper and ask him to move some hives to our neighbourhood. John Rehn |
