Integrated Pest Management (IPM) in the Northeast

I discovered that a really good place to begin learning about Integrated Pest Management (IPM) in the Northeast can be found at the Cornell University New York State Integrated Pest Management Program. This is a site tailored to IPM for grapes. Topics covered include:

• Dormant IPM practices to be implemented
• Vineyard Mapping
• Pruning to Reduce Overwintering Disease Inoculum
• Grape Berry Moth Weed Assessment Protocol
• Weed Management
• Grape Facts: Managing Weeds in New York Vineyards

This site also contains a link to NYS IPM Fact Sheets for Grapes, that is a great resource for learning about grape pests as well as grapevine disease including downy, powdery, black rot, and more.
Another really good reference to have is A Pocket Guide for Grape IPM Scouting in the North Central and Eastern United States. Reading the literature and familiarizing ourselves with the IPM for the upcoming season is what is keeping us busy as the wind howls outside. Shouldn't it be spring already?
