WHAT TYPES OF INSECT CONTROL PROGRAMS WORK WELL FOR GRAPEVINES?
We think that the best insect management program for a grape grower is an integrated organic programs which uses: -Predatory, Beneficial Insects (ladybugs, lacewings, tricho & praying mantis), -Target biological insecticidal agents (Nosema Locustae for grasshoppers & Bacillus Thuringiensis for caterpillars & grape leaf folders). & -Pheromone traps (for Japanese beetles) Growers wishing to use chemical insecticides should contact their local ag agent for specific recommendations. If you choose to do this, please be careful & responsible with your applications.
