Summary:
Weeds are a major factor limiting vineyard and orchard production throughout the western states. Over the past 35 years, glyphosate has been the cornerstone of weed IPM programs in these perennial cropping systems. However, because of the decline in glyphosate costs, many growers have stopped using other weed management practices and instead are using only glyphosate for weed control. As a result of this increased selection pressure, several cases of glyphosate-resistant weeds have been reported in the western U.S. Over reliance on one pest management tool is counter to the goals of an effective IPM program and can decrease the profitability and sustainability of western vineyards and orchards. The overall objective of this project is to enhance IPM practices in California and Pacific Northwest orchard and vineyard cropping systems. Educational publications, training sessions and workshops, and other materials will be developed and implemented to help promote IPM programs and prevent and manage herbicide/glyphosate resistant weeds. The primary audience of the proposal is Farm Advisors, County Agents, and Pesticide Applicators.
Objectives: The overall objective is to enhance IPM practices in California and Pacific Northwest for weed management in vineyards and orchards and to provide educational workshops and materials to help prevent and manage glyphosate resistant weeds. Specific objectives are: 1. Develop extension publication on stewardship, optimizing of glyphosate performance for IPM uses in vineyards and orchards. 2. Conduct workshops for Farm Advisors, County Agents, and Pesticide Applicators on weed IPM in vineyards and orchards. 3. Conduct workshops for Farm Advisors, County Agents, and Pesticide Applicators on monitoring, preventing, and management of glyphosate-resistant weeds in vineyards and orchards. 4. Develop a set of presentations to be used by Farm Advisors and County Agents in their local educational programs on weed IPM in vineyards and orchards and prevention and management of glyphosate resistant weeds. |
