The vine mealybug is a newly inva- sive pest that has spread throughout California's extensive grape-growing regions. Researchers are investigating new control tools to be used in com- bination with or as an alternative to standard organophosphate insecticide controls. Insect growth regulators and nicotine-based insecticides provide good alternative pesticides for use in some vineyards. Ongoing studies on the augmentative release of natural enemies and mating disruption also show promise, but commercial prod- ucts are not yet available to growers.
