Boost in Ferromon Production Found in Wine Production Process
In a move to combat grapevine moths and promote biodiversity in vineyards, the use of pheromones in viticulture has been a successful biotechnical control method for years. This environmentally friendly confusion technique has been subsidized in Baden-Württemberg for many years, with co-financing of 100 euros per hectare.
In a recent development, Minister Peter Hauk has expressed his pleasure about the increase in pheromone funding in the state budget. From 2025, the funding will be increased to 200 euros per hectare. This increase is aimed at stabilizing the use of pheromones in viticulture and addressing rising costs.
Minister Hauk has also thanked those who have been committed to the use of pheromones for years, contributing to the preservation of biodiversity in vineyards. He encourages winemakers in Baden-Württemberg to take advantage of this increased funding, which will be beneficial for them.
