Summary in the original language of the document

Minimisation of tree damage and fruit losses due to black sooty fungi growing on aphid honeydew (Picture 2).
Practical recommendations
Direct regulation
• Apply kaolin (Picture 4) in autumn to reduce the immigration of winged aphids from the secondary host back to the cherry tree (Picture 3).
• Apply paraffin oil in spring prior to bud break when fundatrices (or founding mothers) hatch from the winter eggs to further reduce the starting population in spring (Picture 5).
• Apply pyrethrum + soap or azadirachtin after bloom.
