Abstract :This study was carried out to determine distribution, emergence period, population fluctuation of Cherry Fruıt Fly insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(Rhagoletis cerasi L.); insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(Diptera: Tephritidae); in cherry orchards of Mardin province in 2013 and 2014. Studies were conducted through vegetation period in the orchards which have at least 50 Napolyon insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(Ziraat 900); varieties of cherry trees in each.
