This activity will evaluate the cost-effectiveness of canopy management practices as an aid to reduce disease development and needs for fungicide applications. It will also study the adaptation of disease management decisions for canopy and fruit zone management practices.
Objectives:
• Survey of the grape industry to evaluate the current canopy management practices including timing, level of exposure and the grower’s expected benefit; and
• Determine the economics of canopy management practices for disease management and fruit quality using cost/benefit analysis.
