CONTROL OF GRAPE BERRY MOTH WITH FENPROPATHRIN AND PHOSMET

CONTROL OF GRAPE BERRY MOTH WITH FENPROPATHRIN AND PHOSMET (C8) GRAPE: Vitis x labruscana Bailey, 'Concord' Michael C.

This vineyard has a wooded edge where wild grape serves as refuge for grape berry moth; hence, the vineyard had a history of high levels of infestation particularly along the wooded edge.

Treatments were applied three times (once per grape berry generation; 16 Jun, 6 Jul, and 10 Aug) using a FMC vineyard boom sprayer operated at 100 psi with an application rate of 100 gal/acre. Treatments were evaluated by non-destructively counting the number of infested berries on 100 grape clusters per treatment plot 2 wk after each application. We also removed 100 clusters per treatment plot and counted the number of infested berries at the Sep harvest. Prior to the harvest sampling interval, grape berry moth damage in all plots was <3%. At harvest, however, Danitol, and Imidan both gave significantly better control than Sevin and the untreated check, while Imidan was significantly better than Danitol (Table 1.).
