In the world markets the demand of organic fruits is increasing. Very favorable conditions for cherry production exist in Bulgaria where many organic cherry orchards were established in the latest years. The economically most important pest creating problems in the cherry orchards is the cherry fruit fly (Rhagoletis cerasi). The paper reports results of the cherry fly monitoring and control in organic orchard during the period 1997 2005. In the first years of conversion when the use of synthetic pesticides was stopped about 90% of the fruits resulted damaged. The use of bulgarian yellow traps in 1997 1998 did not lead to a significant reduce of the damages. In 1999 the yellow traps (Celaflor, product of Trifolio-M, Germany) combined with treatments with Neem showed very good results no damaged fruits were observed. For the later trials in 2004 2005 swiss yellow traps, product of Andermatt, were used. A relatively small number of flies were trapped and during the harvest no damages were recorded.
