  • LWC Grower Newsletter June 2005
    JUNE 2005 It is Time to Remind Everyone of Sulfur Dust Stewardship LODI - WOODBRIDGE WINEGRAPE COMMISSION Sulfur dust is the backbone of Lodi’s powdery mildew management program. Now that the season is in full swing a lot of sulfur dust is being applied. I have become aware that some of the sulfur stewardship principles promoted in our region have not been adhered to in some instances. For example, during a recent early morning period of temperature inversion a sulfur dusting in a vineyard next to a county road created a dust cloud that slowly drifted across the road creating a hazard for passing vehicles. In other cases sulfur dusting was done in such strong winds that it • was clear the application would not provide effective coverage to control mildew. To preserve the use of sulfur in Lodi vineyards for the long term RESEARCH IPM NEWSLETTER it is absolutely critical that all growers and equipment operators adhere to the sulfur stewardship principles. I am sure none of us want to see the Lodi wine industry featured on the evening news because a school bus was dusted with sulfur. Some of the more important sulfur dust stewardship are: • Stop dusting activities if sulfur will drift into sensitive areas Managing Spider Mites in Lodi Vineyards • Avoid applications when people are active in areas bordering a treated vineyard responding from the warmer growing regions Willamette mites and Pacific mites are diffi- BY CLIFF OHMART reported that about the only time they see cult to tell apart. The UC Grape Pest • If dusting equipment allows, disengage blower when making row turns LWWC Research/IPM Director Willamette mites become a problem is when Management Manual may be of help here.
