Diseases and pests in viticulture
As the EIP-AGRI Network has become part of the EU CAP Network, this website will no longer be updated after 1 April 2023. It will remain available in a static form as a reference of all previous EIP-AGRI activities. All interactive features such as the login, the main search function of the website, and the advanced filtering of the databases (e.g. project database and collaborative areas) will no longer be available. You will find all the new and up-to-date information on the EU CAP Network website.

How can we increase resilience of grape vines to pests and diseases and support the productivity of the sector in sustainable ways?
The final report of this Focus Group has been published.
See all the results at a glance in the Diseases and pests in viticulture factsheet.
Tasks:
-
Make an inventory of the main pests and diseases affecting grape vines, including their distribution and economic impact. Where possible, summarise how expected climatic changes will impact the distribution and occurrence of pests and diseases.
-
Take stock of state of play with regard to prevention practices, early detection, diagnostics and monitoring.
-
Take stock of main current methods for control. Particular care should be taken to highlight both existing problems and opportunities in pest/disease management.
-
Make an inventory of IPM (Integrated Pest Management) strategies (including biological control) to combat pests and diseases in grape vines. Compare these different management practices and strategies, having also practicability and costs in mind.
-
In particular explore potential solutions to manage pests/diseases based on agro-ecological principles such as biodiversity. The role of disease management in supporting resilience of grape vines to biotic stresses should deserve special attention.
-
Compile examples of ‘good practice’, i.e. a number of case studies, from farm level in particular, across different regions in Europe. Identify needs from practice (farming sector) and possible gaps in knowledge on particular issues concerning the management of pests and diseases in grape production which may be solved by further research.
-
Propose priorities for relevant innovative actions / projects including practical ideas for EIP-AGRI Operational Groups.
