Show TO DESTROY GRAPE INSECTS Flea-Beetle and Leaf-Hopper as Adults Spend the Winter Under Old Trash and Fallen Leaves. Several grape insects winter among the fallen grape leaves in trash in vineyards and much may be done to destroy them if the trash be raked together and burned. Such work will be of value against the grape-berry moth and the grape-leaf grape-leaf folder, which hibernate in the pupal condition in the fallen grape leaves. The grapevine flea-beetle and the grape leaf-hopper spend the winter as adults under trash of all kinds in and about vineyards, and the destruction of trash as Indicated will expose them to adverse climatic conditions. |
