Viticulture Management
This phenology-based viticulture management poster provides a reference for sound viticultural, disease, and insect management practices in a digestible format. Viticultural practices optimize vineyard health, profitability, and sustainability and improve crop quantity and quality. Like pest management, viticultural practices should be implemented in a timely fashion throughout the growing season to maximize practice efficiency and benefit gain. Disease control in grapes is critical, as grapes are susceptible to a wide range of pathogens. Implementing timely and adequate cultural practices will greatly help to suppress diseases.

Manejo del Viñedo
Este póster del manejo del viñedo está basado en la fenología de la planta y proporciona una referencia para las buenas prácticas de manejo de las enfermedades y los insectos de la vid en un formato atractivo y digerible. Las prácticas vitícolas optimizan la salud, la rentabilidad y la sostenibilidad de los viñedos al mismo tiempo que mejoran la cantidad y calidad del cultivo. Al igual que el manejo de plagas, las prácticas vitivinícolas deben implementarse de manera oportuna a lo largo de la temporada de crecimiento de la planta para maximizar la eficiencia de la práctica y la ganancia de beneficios. El control de enfermedades en las uvas es crítico, ya que las uvas son susceptibles a una amplia gama de patógenos. La implementación de prácticas culturales oportunas y adecuadas ayudará enormemente a eliminar las enfermedades. Además, las uvas, más que muchos productos hortícolas, requieren programas de fungicidas agresivos durante todo el año para mantener la salud de la vid. El manejo integrado de plagas en el viñedo combina una variedad de técnicas y herramientas para controlar las plagas. Comienza identificando correctamente al insecto y comprendiendo su tiempo y actividad dentro de un cultivo a lo largo de la temporada. El monitoreo y la evaluación de la abundancia de plagas identificadas y las lesiones en los cultivos pueden ayudar a determinar el método correcto para el manejo efectivo de la plaga.

Pruning Muscadine Grapes
Many gardeners don’t realize how vigorously muscadines and grapes must be pruned each season in order to ensure good production. Quality equipment and care also is essential to maintain healthy plants. This video covers the basics of how to properly prune muscadines and bunch grapes. Correct pruning methods are essential for strong fruit production and must be performed annually at the proper time. This video covers timing, tools, and techniques.

The 2022 Southeast Regional Caneberry Integrated Management Guide covers topics such as pesticide stewardship and safety, insect and disease control, pre-transplant and transplant operations, fungicide and insecticide efficacy comparisons and spray schedules, weed management, wildlife damage, and more. Recommendations are based on information from the manufacturer’s label and performance data from research and extension field tests. Because environmental conditions and grower application methods vary widely, suggested use does not imply that performance of the pesticide will always conform to the safety and pest control standards indicated by experimental data. This publication is intended for use only as a guide. Specific rates and applications methods are on the pesticide label, and these are subject to change at any time.

Shoot thinning is the first seasonal canopy management practice in wine grape vineyards, but shoot thinning is not implemented in muscadine vineyards. Failure to shoot thin results in a highly congested canopy characterized by reduced air flow, high humidity, and extended damp periods. Muscadines can generally tolerate such conditions without adverse effects. Wine grapes grown in crowded fruit zones, however, will experience excessive disease incidence and severity—especially in the humid Southeastern U.S. Shoot thinning is therefore a necessary canopy management practice in wine grape vineyards in Georgia and other Southeastern states.
