Napa Makes Moth Control Mandatory
Napa Makes Moth Control Mandatory
Jul 22, 2010 6
Napa,CA -- Due to continued pressure from the invasive and destructive European grapevine moth (EGVM), Napa County agricultural commissioner Dave Whitmer warned growers and wineries that they will not be allowed to harvest, move or receive winegrapes unless they obtain a compliance agreement issued by his office. Most of Napa County is under quarantine due to the presence of the virulent bug.
Noting that this is a tremendous undertaking, and seeking maximum efficiency, he scheduled mandatory meetings for all growers, harvesters, haulers or receivers (wineries) of winegrapes. At the meetings he will review the EGVM quarantine restrictions and distribute compliance agreements for them to complete. Staff from the commissioner's office will be available to issue compliance agreements to all the attendees.
