Reexamination of Grape Berry Moth Management Practices in the Lake Erie Region (Year Two)

Abstract

The Grape Berry Moth Risk Assessment (GBM RA) protocol was developed ten years ago by Hoffman and Dennehy (1987) to address the possibility of reducing the number of insecticide applications necessary to manage grape berry moth damage to economically acceptable levels. This program was initiated by the processors’ desire to reduce pesticides due to public concern and the growers’ desires to reduce production costs (Martinson et al. 1991).
