Advances in Vineyard Agroecology
The Altieri Lab at UC
Berkeley has
been conducting cutting edge research in vineyard agroecology over the
past decade. Recent efforts focus on the management of non-crop
vegetation to enhance the natural regulation of key insect pests in
vineyards. We strive to conduct comprehensive research
spanning landscape-level dynamics to specific within-field insect
interactions. We also believe in the importance of collaborating with
growers to conduct research in real-world settings
where the system designs that we are developing will be
employed.
