MEALYBUG BIOCONTROL VIDEO PREMIERE

MEALYBUG BIOCONTROL VIDEO PREMIERE
Date: August 13, 2020
Time: 4 – 4:10pm (PST) – click the link a few minutes early
Venue: Online via YouTube
youtu.be/QF4hc1hS3-I
Description: The Lodi Winegrape Commission, Dr. Kent Daane, and five participating growers were awarded a Western SARE grant in 2019 to demonstrate mealybug biocontrol in vineyards. As you are well aware, vine mealybugs are spreading like wildfire around California and they transmit viruses (leafroll and vitiviruses) which can lead to reduced grape quality, lower yields, and in some cases even collapsing vineyard patches (as with the sudden vine collapse). Join us live and interact via the chat box on YouTube as we premiere a short video explaining the mealybug and virus challenge, biocontrol options, the power of teamwork, and how we are engaging the next generation through our biocontrol efforts.
No registration necessary – simply click on the link above just before 4pm. All are welcome to join us.
