Abstract
Florida has approximately 1,500 acres of grapes. With increased funding from the Viticulture Advisory Council (VAC) to establish new wineries throughout the state, production is expanding rapidly. Muscadine grapes, Vitis rotundifolia Michx are the principal type of grapes cultivated in Florida. Only a few acres (< 200) of bunch grapes, Euvitis spp., are grown in Florida. In general, grapes are susceptible to many insect pests. Some of the common insect pests attacking grapes in Florida include: grape root borer, glassy-winged sharpshooter, grape flea beetle, grapevine aphid, grape leaffolder, grape curculio, and grape phylloxera.
