UCCE Grape IPM Summer Meeting in Stockton

The Grape IPM Summer Meeting will bring together UC Cooperative Extension scientists and farm advisors to share research-based strategies for managing summer pest, disease, and climate stresses in California vineyards. Sessions will highlight integrated approaches to heat and sunburn mitigation, water and canopy management, emerging insect and viral threats, and the use of digital decision-support tools—all aimed at maintaining vine health and fruit quality during the hottest part of the season.

Wine-grape growers, PCAs/CCAs, vineyard managers, and other agricultural professionals are encouraged to attend. DPR continuing-education units have been requested. Register to attend HERE.
