She took an interest in wine in while working as the first undergraduate lab assistant at MGWII from 2007-2009.

This is a BIG deal for me because it makes my job so much easier when discussing vineyard spray programs with clients. This is the best and easiest vineyard pesticide management resource available. There is nothing else like it on the market. I highly recommend it for anyone setting up a spray program for a commercial vineyard. Placing the posters in a central place where your pesticide records are kept also helps commercial vineyards comply with the Worker Protection Standard that deals with vineyard worker pesticide: safety, record keeping and information requirements. Trying to put together a workable vineyard pesticide application plan can be a difficult process for even the experienced vineyard manager. Pre-harvest intervals, Re-Entry intervals, rotation rules, mixing compatibility, pests controlled, adjuvant needs, costs/acre, etc., etc,.., can get very complicated, very fast. These 2017-2018 VineSmith Vineyard Winegrape Spray Guides are a one-of-a-kind package that can provide excellent help through this process. VineSmith is a vineyard consulting company owned and operated by Jenette Smith located in Stephens, VA with over 36 years of experience. This package of Vineyard Winegrape Spray Guides includes: • Fungicide Guide poster • Insecticide Guide poster • Herbicide Guide Poster • “Planning a Vineyard Pest Management Program” booklet You can order the Vineyard Winegrape Spray Guides here Online for $70 (shipping & handling included): http://www.vinesmith.com mlw 2 Some Upcoming Wine Competitions Competition ____ Where _______ Entry Deadline____ The Rose’ Today Competition CA 3-10-17 Finger Lakes Intl.

Of course, I could not remember what kind of galls were on the leaf at the time she showed it to me. (Story of my life!) But,..I did remember on the way home that night. Grape Tube Gallmaker galls The grape leaf was covered with tube galls caused by the Grape Tube Gallmaker (Cedidomynia viticola). A gall fly known as a midge lays eggs on the grape leaf. The leaf then responds by producing pointed tube galls. The midge larva will then develop inside the gall. The grape tube gallmaker is an incidental pest and is not of economic importance. 1.

A box labeled „Herbicide Group‟ is present near the top of the label. The number in the box represents MOA of the active ingredient, based on a system developed by the Weed Science Society of America. Premixes containing more than one mode of action will have multiple numbers listed. Following is an example of the new logo. The intent of this information is to simplify development of herbicide programs that reduce the likelihood of selecting herbicide resistant weeds. In production systems relying largely on herbicides 1 for weed management, using herbicides with different MOAs is the primary means of managing resistance. Generally, the greater number of MOAs used, the less selection pressure placed on weeds. However, designing an integrated program is not as simple as randomly adding MOAs.
