Pesticides & Herbicides for Blueberries

Malathion

• The pesticide malathion is effective for the control of plum, curculio, blueberry tip borer and fruit worm in blueberries, as cited by University of Delaware Extension.

Sevin

• Pesticides containing Sevin control blueberry maggots and fruit worm in blueberries, especially at the blueberry ripening stage. The pesticide is recommended by University of Delaware Extension.

Glyphosate

• Michigan State University Extension cites glyphosate as the most effective herbicide for post-emergent weed control in blueberries. Glyphosate is a very hazardous chemical. Practice extreme caution to avoid damaging blueberry plants.
