GRAPE SURFACE
MATING DISRUPTION ON GRAPE IN TRENTINO
• in Trentino there are 10.000 hectares of grape
• from 2003, MD is applied on ALL the hectares (9.700 hectares)
• … now a little bit of history of mating disruption application in
Mezzacorona vineyards…
MATING DISRUPTION on GRAPE – YEAR 1991
MEZZACORONA SCA - ESAT - ISTITUTO AGRARIO S. MICHELE A/A
• 1991 from field trials to practical application
• small surface (13,7 ha)
• 55 growers were involved, Mezzacorona Winery, ESAT
technician of the area and Istituto Agrario di S. Michele all’Adige
• without cooperatives involvement, the small size of the farms
would had been an obstacle for the practical application of
mating disruption
