The Ontario Ministry of Agriculture, Food and Rural Affairs recently released the Ontario Grape Integrated Pest Management module. Grapes are produced in Ontario under diverse soil and climatic conditions. The goal is producing a high quality crop using sustainable production techniques, including a pest management system. Integrated Pest Management (IPM) has been used in Ontario grape vineyards since 1978, and is a dynamic and evolving process. There are many pests to watch for but not all show up every year or in every vineyard.
FRUIT PRODUCTION RECOMMENDATIONS 2010-2011
Read the product label and follow all safety precautions. Some grape varieties are sensitive to Sulphur, Thionex, Copper, Dikar, Flint, Pristine, Dikar plus Zolone, or other products. See Table 6-5. Relative Susceptibility of Grape Cultivars to Diseases, page 143, for specific information. For preharvest intervals, re-entry periods, maximum number of applications and chemical groups, see Table 6-4. Products Used on Grapes, page 141.
