Grape Commodity Survey

This survey will allow us to target 5 pests of concern in the 12-14 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
