Sawflies are harmful primarily because their larvae feed on the foliage of various plants, including trees and shrubs, which can lead to significant defoliation. This feeding can weaken plants, making them more susceptible to diseases and pests. In severe cases, extensive damage can hinder plant growth, reduce yields in agricultural settings, and even lead to plant death. Additionally, some sawfly species can impact the overall health of ecosystems by disrupting the balance of plant communities.

To treat gooseberry sawfly, begin by manually removing and destroying any visible larvae from the plants. You can also apply insecticidal soap or neem oil to affected areas, which disrupts the life cycle of the pests. For more severe infestations, consider using a targeted insecticide labeled for sawfly control, ensuring it is safe for use on edible plants. Regular monitoring and maintaining plant health through good cultural practices can help prevent future infestations.
