(UPD Re searchers at the University of Wisconsin report that two soil insecticides can control the "plum curculio," a cherry insect, without injuring the flavor of canned cherries. The researchers said the insecticides, Aldrin and Diel dren, are applied to the sod around the trees and kill the curculios as they enter soil under the trees. However, soil treatments must be applied throughout the entire orchard to prevent the insects ' from flying in from untreated trees in the orchard. They recommend using three to six pounds per acre of the insecticides.
