BMSB has recently established itself in Sacramento County. While it is unclear at this point whether BMSB poses a serious threat to Lodi and California viticulture, the Lodi Winegrape Commission is investing in research to better understand the pest’s spread and phenology (life cycle) so we can be prepared to implement integrated pest management control practices. At this meeting we will hear from Chuck Ingels, UCCE farm advisor for Sacramento County, and from Charlie Pickett of CDFA. The speakers will cover a range of topics including BMSB identification, potential threat to winegrapes, monitoring, life cycle, and control. 1.5 hours of CDFA CE credit will be offered.
See the recent Coffee Shop article on BMSB for more information.
