Grower Action Alert!  Treat your vineyards now!

The European Grapevine Moth (EGVM) has invaded Fresno County, threatning the future of all grapes - raisin, wine, table, and concentrate. Six moths were discovered during April and May. We have just confirmed a report of another moth being trapped in the same area as the original finds.

Experts believe this latest find is from the second generation of moths this season. That means the time to treat your vineyards is now. Please don't hesitate. Act now and join the fight to eradiacate this destructive pest.

We will keep you posted on further information as we receive it. If you have any questions, please contact RBA Grower Rep. Steve Spate at 559.248.6357 or the RBA office at 559.221.1925
