I lost the harvest of my peach tree due to worms and bugs bites done to the fruits.

Which is the best way to get rid of bugs and worms that can damage the fruits on a peach tree?
NEVER NEVER apply anything to a fruit tree or bush when it is in flower, or you will harm its pollinators--most likely bees, and they're already in perilous shape! Either apply before the buds open, or wait until after all the flower petals have fallen off.





Without knowing where you're located and exactly what's munching on your peaches, prescribing treatment is pure guesswork. But if you will contact your local County Extension Agent, he/she can probably identify the culprit or culprits and advise on what to apply and when.





Our County Agent mailed us a very informative sheaf of papers describing various common local pests and diseases of peach trees and the appropriate chemicals and spray schedules. It was very helpful, and has improved our fruit amazingly.





He also advised us to water, water, water, so that the trees receive at least an inch of water per week, if not from rainfall, then from our hose. (This year's water has a lot to do with the quality of both this year's crop and next year's.)





And he explained the necessity for thinning fruit, which helps to produce plenty of fruit of a nice size and fine quality without wearing out the trees. When the little peaches are about an inch long, thin them by carefully snapping off fruit until there is 6 to 8 inches of branch between the peaches that remain. If the tree has been stressed by weather or disease, consider its leafiness when thinning: A peach requires the support of 35 healthy leaves to ripen properly and fully.
Reply:spray with a systemic insecticide at the time of flowering and after the appearance of foliage.This will protect plants for a month so repeat the process.
Reply:the only way is to spray,fruit fly and other insects love fruit trees,get advice for best spray from gardening centres,always cover your face when spraying
Reply:they have organic ways of treating for pests. Most of it is preventive. One of the best is a sticky barrier that you wrap around the trunk of the tree to keep the bugs from crawling up.

Reply:Off the top of my head I'd suggest getting some netting that would prevent the bugs from actually getting to the fruits. But that has a drawback as well, it might prevent beneficial insects from pollinating flowers that are used in the production of fruit.





If you would be so kind as to go back and edit your question as to the specific type of bugs/worms that are attacking your fruits, the question would be easier to answer. Each kind of bug/worm has different methods for removal/prevention, thus requiring you to be more specific.
Reply:Bagging each fruit may help. Use small sandwich bags to ziploc each fruit into a safe haven! This is tedious, I know. If you have a lot of fruits, it is not the solution. But then, one removes many fruits to leave one or two to make them big, right? There can't be many fruits to bag after that.





It doesn't do a thing to help if the bug eggs have been laid already on the ovary of the flower bud and are growing at the same slow rate as the flower, so that by the time the fruit is formed, they are already in tenancy.





The best bet is to get some insect killer spray which can degrade into something non-toxic. There are also insecticides which are non-toxic to humans to begin with.





Nowadays, there are what we call biological warfare against pests. Set up other insects to eat up the insects on your fruits. I wonder if ladybugs would be effective to give you some fruits at least.





Ask advice from fruit growers. Their remedies can't be a secret surely. What they do, you can do, short of poisoning yourself with potent insecticides that can harm humans.
