what are you doing to minimize pesticide risk?

• carefully selecting rootstock & grape variety
• using pest thresholds to decide when to apply a pesticide
• timing applications for greatest efficacy
• incorporating natural enemy habitat: hedgerows, cover crops,

trees

• adjusting your spray program so you don’t accidentally kill

beneficial insects

• using biocontrol: barn owls, Cryptolaemus beetles, Anagyrus

wasps, bluebirds, wood ducks, bats

• rotating pesticide modes of action to delay resistance
• mechanical removal of weeds and suckers
