Dr. Dean Volenberg’s Vineyard IPM Scouting Report is back for 2013! During the growing season, Dr. Volenberg of the University of Wisconsin Extension in Door County puts out a weekly newsletter covering just about everything that can happen to a vine or a grape in the Midwest.
This week he explains why your should be on the lookout for grape flea beetles. The cold spring has created conditions that favor these vineyard pests.
