Item New York Guide to Sustainable Viticulture Practices: Grower Self-Assessment WorkbookWise, Alice; Martinson, Timothy E.; Hawk, Jamie; Weigle, Tim; Tarleton, Libby (Cornell University, 2007-08-21)Designed to both document sustainable grape growing practices already in place and promote sustainable practices throughout the industry, the workbook is primarily an educational tool to bring awareness to the economic, environmental and social implications of specific viticultural practices. The self-assessment provides a baseline for potential modifications detailed in an action plan drawn up after completing the workbook. VineBalance is a joint effort by the wine and juice grape industry, Cornell Cooperative Extension, and the New York Department of Agriculture and Market’s Soil and Water Conservation Committee to define and promote the use of sustainable growing practices on the 33,000 acres of vineyards in New York. Grape production is a high-profile agricultural enterprise. By making it an industry-wide goal to produce grapes, juice, and wine using sustainable practices, participating growers will help themselves and the state by reducing environmental risks and ensuring a healthy future for New York’s grape growing industry.Item Sustainable Viticulture in the Northeast: A publication of the Finger Lakes, Lake Erie, and Long Island Regional Grape ProgramsMartinson, Timothy E.

My goals for this review are to 1) highlight the main arthropod pests to keep in mind as the season progresses, including new invasive insects that pose a risk to grapes, 2) provide some basic background on biology and ecology that helps in understanding different approaches to management, 3) summarize relevant results from recent research, and 4) provide an update on changes in chemical control options. I want to acknowledge and thank the extension educators out in the grape growing regions of New York and Pennsylvania for their assistance and input for this review. Let me get started by highlighting substantive changes in the NY and Pennsylvania Grape Guidelines for 2021.Item Grape Disease Control, Spring 2021Gold, Kaitlin (Cornell University, 2021-04)The article discusses news and updates to fungicides labeled in NY since 2020, (re)introduces the major grapevine diseases in New York and relevant recent research findings, discusses cultural practices that can reduce disease inoculum in vineyards, and outlines the basics of a strong management program at different growth stages. As a reminder, growers on Long Island should check labels to ensure recommended products in this article are labeled for use there.
