GRAPE ROOT BORER MOUNDING
Time of Application | Treatment | Remarks |
Second week of June | Control weeds in vine
row. In second week of June, mound soil 8-12 inches
high around base of trunk, extending 2-3 feet from trunk
crown. Pull mound down in fall or spring. During July and
August, maintain weed free strip in vine row. |
Only necessary where grape
root borer has been a problem. Weed control near
vine will cause larval mortality before caterpillars reach
roots. |
