July 12: Oregon Mealybug Citizen Science

Oregon growers- did you know that you can help monitor the spread of mealybugs on a statewide scale?

July 14: SIP Certification

SIP (Sustainability in Practice) Certified is one of the strictest sustainability certifications that wine growers can apply for- eligible wine growers must meet over 50 total requirements, including cover cropping, energy-efficient equipment, restrictions on high-risk pesticide use and more.

Suterra's ecologically-friendly mating disruption products fit well into a SIP Certified vineyard's pest management program, and we already provide service to several growers throughout California with the SIP Certified seal. Cheers!

July 26: Vine Management

Grapevine leafroll disease is no joke- once a vine is infected, the only way to eradicate the virus is to remove the infected vines, replant and start anew. Avoid this costly affliction by managing vine mealybug, the prime vector for GLD.
