Item Proceedings of the symposium on establishing and managing vineyards to meet or exceed winery expectations (2011)(University of Missouri Extension, 2011)Item Preparations for successful vineyard mechanization (2011)(University of Missouri Extension, 2011) Bergmeier, Eli; Striegler, R. KeithItem Midwest Vineyard Labor Calendar (2011)(University of Missouri Extension, 2011) Bergmeier, Eli; Striegler, R. KeithThis publication aims to help grape producers develop appropriate management plans and reasonable financial expectations by providing information on: (1) operations that are generally advised for commercial vineyards and when they should be done, and (2) the estimated number of labor hours required to complete them. Labor requirements are provided on a per-acre basis, unless otherwise specified, and assume manual execution of most tasks by laborers skilled in vineyard work. Producers using unskilled labor will need to budget for higher labor-training expenses and labor requirements due to lower productivity. Seasonal and climatic variability across the Midwest will require producers to adjust the timing and perhaps sequence of operations according to a vineyard's location and observed weather conditions. Tasks included in this timeline assume conventional or sustainable management practices because of their prevalence in the Midwest region.Item Ozark Mountain Vineyard Sustainability Assessment Workbook: A Self-Assessment of Management Practices (2010)(University of Missouri Extension, 2010) Johnson, Donn T.This workbook is designed to increase vineyard sustainability and the adoption of environmentally-friendly vineyard management practices. Vineyard managers can use this resource to develop and implement self-assessment of vineyard practices to improve practices for managing vineyard canopies and crop load, pests and weeds.Item Proceedings of the Symposium on Advances in Vineyard Pest Management (2010)(University of Missouri Extension, 2010) Striegler, R. KeithMaintaining healthy vineyards is a key concern of commercial grape growers. Diseases and pests cause significant economic losses to the wine industry worldwide. At the 2010 Midwest Grape and Wine Conference, wine grape growers and industry experts shared information on preventing and managing vineyard diseases and pests during the Symposium on Advances in Vineyard Pest Management. Presentations on disease management covered practices for controlling grapevine trunk diseases, phomopsis cane and leaf spot, and bunch rot. Grape growers were taught ways to manage grape phylloxera, grape berry moth and Japanese beetles, and warned of emerging viruslike diseases found on some grapevine varieties in Missouri. In addition, a detailed plan for developing an effective fungicide spray program was described and methods of improving spray deposition and reducing drift of pesticides were explained.
