Seeking Out Moths

摘要

Michigan State University researchers have developed pest control options for the state's growing winegrape industry. MICHIGAN grape growers have more management options available to them for controlling insects in their vineyards, thanks to researchfunded by Project GREEEN (Generating Research and Extension to meet Economic and Environmental Needs), the state's plant agriculture initiative at Michigan State University (MSU). Grape berry moth is the primary insect pest infesting Michigan vineyards.An uncontrolled infestation can reduce yields and contaminate berries. A new generation of insect growth regulators appears promising — they can kill the insects without killing their natural enemies.
