Grape growers must
contend with a variety of insect, disease, weed, viral and vertebrate
pests. Since 1989 the major focus of the grape pest management effort in
New York State has been an Integrated Pest Management (IPM) approach. The
successful implementation of IPM depends on a number of factors
including: proper pest identification for all
stages of the life cycle, identification of symptoms or damage, correct
timing for management of the pest, the knowledge of the management
strategies that are available and a basic understanding of the growth and
development of the grape vine itself.
The NYS Grape IPM web
site has been constructed to provide grape growers in the Lake Erie region
of New York and Pennsylvania and the Finger Lakes Region of New York the
information needed to implement. While IPM strategies in their vineyards,
much of the information is useful to other geographical areas, please
check with your local extension office on specific pest management
strategies. |
