2009 Grape Pest Management Guide now available

The guide provides season-long disease and insect control recommendations. The new guide includes extensive revisions to the “Example Strategies” for powdery mildew control and botrytis bunch rot control. We have many different fungicide products to use, particularly for powdery mildew; the guide catagorizes the products by their type of activity, relative efficacy, and role (primary or supplemental) in a control program. An airblast sprayer calibration worksheet is also included to help you prepare your sprayer for accurate applications.

If you are on the Oregon Wine Advisory Board mailing list, you should have received a copy. If you have not received a copy, you may request one to be mailed to you by contacting Ed Hellman at the North Willamette Research & Extension Center. Phone 503-678-1264 ext. 26
