Gooseberry moth. This wonderful white butterfly with specks,which is born from a gray caterpillar with a yellow belly, eats a leaf and lays eggs on the underside. Sprinkle the plant with urea. From her, the butterfly and caterpillar do not appear for a long time on the currant leaves.

Blackcurrant sawfly. These pests of black currant appear inthe moment of the ovary. They penetrate into the ovary and eat seeds. Do not use chemicals, because during this period the currant already has green berries. Fitoverm or Agravertin, which are biologics, can be used in small amounts.

The caterpillar from this is more likely to be selected from the ovary. Otherwise, it eats seeds, descends on the cobweb and leaves for wintering in the soil.

The Mite. This tick affects the bud of the plant and leads toher swelling. After bloating the kidney is torn, which is clearly visible on the branch, and the tick penetrates into the next one.
