Intensive and extensive cultivation of grapes (Vitis vinifera L.)
leads to serious pest problem in vineyards in major grape growing
areas of the world. Climatic conditions in India are favorable for
high production of table and wine grapes, and thus also for
incidence of variety of pests. These include the sucking insect
pests namely thrips, hoppers, mealybugs etc., and beetle pests like
stem borer, stem girdler, flea beetles, chafer beetles, shot hole
borer and several lepidopteron, mites, nematodes and vertebrate
pests. Pests of grapes in other countries relevant to Indian
conditions are also dealt herewith since they may get introduced in
India in future. Up to date information on biology, damage,
seasonal development, management practices of the pests are covered
in this book. Some of the pest management practices followed in
other countries are also given, which will be useful to Indian
conditions. Pesticide residue is a serious problem both for export
and internal market in grapes. Guideline for pesticide residue
management in grapes is also given in this book. The authors have
tried to accommodate almost all the important information generated
on the grape pests up to 2012. A complete list of grape pests
(except disease) occurring in different grape growing regions of
the world is also covered in this book which will be ready reckoner
for the grape workers. The authors sincerely hope that this book
will provide useful information to many entomologists, students
working on grapes and the grape growers in the country. It is a
pleasure to thank all those people who gave help, suggestions and
encouragement in the preparation of our book "The Grape
Entomology".
