We
are still in the final phase of solidifying our agreements for the disbursement
of the EGVM pheromones for mating disruption for all growers in the treatment
area in Napa County. In the meantime you can pre-order your material from
your dealer so they can be ready to deliver these to you as soon as they are
released. Growers with one acre or less should contact me or the
Agricultural Commissioners office directly so we can make arrangements to get
the material to you.
Due
to their remote location and lack of moth finds last season, there is a
possibility that growers in Pope Valley and Chiles Valley may be deregulated at
the end of this season. If this is approved, it will mean that growers in
those areas will not be able to use Isomate pheromones for mating disruption
this season and the trapping density will be increased to 100 traps per sq.
mile in those areas. So if you are a grower in those areas please hold
off putting up the pheromones until further notice.
