Pesticides, including insecticides, acaricides, fungicides, bactericides, and herbicides are essential for maintaining healthy grape crops with reliable
yields and quality. In many instances, pesticides have become less effective as target organisms have developed resistance. The first record of resistance dates to 1897, when orchardists began having problems controlling San Jose...
