EB2025E Survey SAYS: Great Grapes! An IPM Success Story:
In October 2005, a ten-page questionnaire was mailed to grape growers throughout Washington State using confidential mailing lists of the Washington Association of Wine Grape Growers and the Washington State Grape Society. The survey queried growers on the type and severity of their pest problems, their pesticide usage, their use of IPM practices, and their pest management information sources. The result was the first comprehensive survey of chemical and non-chemical pest management practices used by wine and juice grape growers in Washington State.
