Grants and Contracts Details
Description
This survey will allow us to target 4 pests of concern in the 14 vineyards included in the
survey. The establishment of any of these pests would have large negative impacts on
the state's grape industry. Kentucky''s winemakers are eager to cooperate with us in our
efforts to protect this important commodity from invasive pests.
• The Cooperator seeks to conduct a program which is expected to result in:
• The safeguarding of Kentucky’s grape industry from this suite of pests.
• Preventing these insects from becoming established in Kentucky.
• Early detection and a rapid response if any of these pests are detected through this
survey.
• The entry of positive/negative data into the NAPIS database
We will collect survey data detailing the presence/absence of these pests in the
vineyards. Five University of Kentucky employees and one independent
contractor will conduct this survey by setting the traps, monitoring the traps and
changing lures as needed once per month, submitting samples, and removing
traps. They will also be conducting the visual survey. The survey will begin in late
spring 2021 and continue throughout the summer. We estimate 5 total site visits
including trap set, trap/lure monitoring and sample collection, and final sample
collection/trap removal as well as the visual survey during each visit.
