Summary:
The wine grape industry is a rapidly growing industry in New England. In the past several years, New England Extension programs have been conducting research and education for this emerging industry. With the end of the initial funding of these activities, it has become important to identify the priorities for research, education and regulatory initiatives. Integrated pest management tactic surveys, crop files and strategic plans have been conducted and developed for many of the widely grown and important crops in the region, including apples, pears, peaches, strawberries, brambles, winter squash, and sweet corn. However similar efforts have not been conducted for wine grapes. In order to better understand the extent of the pest problems and crop management challenges, and to determine the adoption of IPM practices, we proposed to develop and conduct a Dillman method integrated pest management tactic survey for wine grapes that can be the first step to complete a New England Wine Grape Crop Profile and Strategic plan.
Objectives: Gather information using a integrated pest management tactic survey to develop a crop profile and strategic plan for wine grapes in New England. Proposal |
