1 1 2 Associação para o Desenvolvimento da Viticultura Duriense Cluster dos vinhos da Região do Douro Does the landscape of Douro wine region (Portugal) affects the complex of antagonists of the grape berry moth? Cristina Carlos 1, C. Val 1, A. Rataux 1, J. Aranha 2, A. Crespí 2, G. Marques 2, L. Torres 2

2 Douro Wine region (Portugal)

3 European Grapevine moth (EGVM) - Lobesia botrana Den & Schiff Lepidoptera: Tortricidae Key pest in Douro Wine Region 3 rd generation often promotes Botrytis bunch rot

4 Landscape of Douro Valley Typical wine-farm is fragmented into plots of vineyards of variable size, slope, shape, orientation, and varieties, surrounded by woodland remnants, olive/almond/orange trees, edges with natural vegetation and dry stone walls average surface / winegrower : 3,2 acres (1,3 Ha)

13 2010- Enhancing functional biodiversity in DWR vineyards 1 2 The experimental work began in 2010 and is being developed following an action plan that aims to: a) identify potential ecological infrastructures (EI) already existing on the state b) identify strategies to enhance biological control of EGVM

40 Work to do Data collected on 2010: - Classify morpho-species of Arthropoda collected with D-VAC sampling and Chromotropic traps and look if they reflect the same trends observed on material captured with pitfall traps Data collected on 2011: - Analyse the possible impact of some pesticides done in 2011 on parasitoids - Analyse the impact of the ground vegetation on parasitoids (e.g. differences between 1rst and 2 nd gen.) - Analyse the impact of landscape (occupation of soil) in each buffer around points where the parasitoids where assessed - Analyse the conectivity of the landscape of each site
