Summary: Washington is the second-ranked wine grape-producing state in the nation. Wines from Washington State are increasingly awarded highest honors in worldwide competitions. Producers of this extremely high value-added crop are active seekers and supporters of innovative and low-input pest management regimens and alternatives. The terroir (soil, climate, and other physical characteristics) of Washington is unique among U.S. wine grape-growing states, therefore when the Washington State wine grape growers and other stakeholders convened for a Pest Management Strategic Plan (PMSP) workshop in 2004, they were supported by the WRIPMC in conducting a single-state workshop focusing on the unique pest management needs of their state. The wine grape growers of Washington agree with the WRIPMC's assertion that a PMSP more than 5 years old should be updated (WRIPMC RFA, p. 5, under VII.D). Our PMSP will be 10 years old in 2014. Given the age of our PMSP, the progress made on the critical needs identified in that PMSP, and the new pest management issues that have arisen for wine grape growers in the past decade, it is time to revise and update the PMSP. Toward that objective, the Washington Wine Industry Foundation, in cooperation with Washington State University pest management specialists, seek funding to cover the expenses of conducting a PMSP workshop and producing a revised and updated document in 2014. Objectives: The sole objective of this proposal is to obtain support to conduct a PMSP workshop and produce a revised and updated Pest Management Strategic Plan for Washington State wine grape production.
