Funded Activity Summary
Beneficial arthropods in Coonawarra vineyards and sustainable grape production. Many species of pest and beneficial arthropods live in vines and groundcover of vineyards. Vignerons often devote considerable effort to sustain populations of what they believe to be beneficial arthropods. However, the types of natural enemies and techniques to enhance their effectiveness are poorly known. This project aims to identify and quantify the role of natural enemies in controlling the main pest in Coonawarra vineyards, identify their food and shelter requirements, and improve management practices and other techniques to optimise populations of beneficial species. The significance of this project is that it will enable the promotion of insecticide-free production of winegrapes in the Coonawarra.Funded Activity Details
