The University of California has an extensive Integrated Pest Management (IPM) website with a comprehensive section for grapes, including a year-round IPM program and guidelines. The UC IPM guidelines are an excellent source of information on managing pests. It includes the UC's official guidelines for monitoring pests and using pesticides or non-pesticide alternatives for managing insect, mite, nematode, weed, and disease pests.
If you need further help or have questions, feel free to contact MacKenzie Patton (mfpatton@ucanr.edu), the UCCE Integrated Pest Management Advisor for Central Sierra.
