Netting control of cherry drosophila Drosophila suzukii injurious to blueberry [Vaccinium]

We investigated physical pest control using a net to prevent blueberry fruit damage by Cherry Drosophila. 1. Damage by Cherry Drosophila could be completely prevented by covering a blueberry orchard with a 0.98 mm mesh net. 2. Covering with the net did not decrease the soluble solids or amount of free sugar, but it might produce a large amount of titratable acid and blue skin of the blueberry becomes lighter. 3. Covering with the net did not influence blueberry fruit weight, yield, or growth of current shoots.
