Insects and Pests and Their Impact

Insects and pests are an integral part of the vineyard ecosystem.
In this category, we will focus on identifying key insect pests, understanding their life cycles, and examining how environmental conditions, soil, and vineyard management influence damage intensity. We will explore approaches based on monitoring, economic thresholds, and informed intervention, integrating crop protection with the preservation of ecological balance.
Effective management begins with understanding—not merely reactio
