Blueberry growers located in areas where blueberry maggot has been detected should be aware that there is a greater risk of infestation in your plantings.

Regular monitoring of blueberry maggot emergence should be made with yellow baited stick traps.

Insect pests in the usa are blueberry gall midge, blueberry maggot fly, and thrips

* Application of insecticides to prevent infestation of blueberry maggot is advised, * To control the blueberry maggot apply a spray that contains 2 lbs. of 25% wettable powder malathion per 100 gallons of water. * Spraying the border of the planting (outer 6 - 8 rows of blueberries) and other high-risk areas with a suitable insecticide may greatly reduce the risk of infestation. Prevention

* Do not throw away the culls and unmarketable berries. Deep burial would be an effective way to dispose of this material.
