Greetings.<\/p>\n
The UVM Grape Program is seeking THREE volunteer vineyard managers to participate in an Integrated Pest Management Assessment. Selected participants will receive personalized, one-on-one consultations to address their pest management needs. We will only be selecting three participants from interested respondents for this round of the program. This is a great opportunity to review your pest management practices and discover areas to improve IPM on your farm.<\/p>\n
How this works:<\/p>\n
1. You will complete a short online survey of yes\/no questions based on an NRCS and UMASS instrument about your pest management practices.<\/p>\n
2. Answers will be collected by the UVM Apple Program.<\/p>\n
3. Specific practices will be assigned points based on their importance to an IPM system.<\/p>\n
4. Total points scored will be used to determine your current IPM needs.<\/p>\n
5. UVM Grape Program staff follow up with a consultation to assist with IPM implementation on your farm.<\/p>\n
6. An follow-up assessment will be conducted after harvest to assess impacts of IPM educational efforts.<\/p>\n
The assessment includes a series of research-based best management practices encompassing soil and nutrient management; cultural practices; pesticide application techniques, record-keeping, tactics for insect, disease, and weed management; and grower education.<\/p>\n
By participating in this assessment, you will also be helping the UVM Grape Program to evaluate the usefulness of this tool for future IPM education and outreach efforts.<\/p>\n
