During WINETWORK project, 219 interviews were conducted by the facilitator agents (FA’s) of the 10 European winegrowing regions involved on the project. The FA’s identified several practices to fight “Flavescense Dorée” phytoplasma and/or its vector, the cicadellidae Scaphoideus titanus Ball, from which one was the Mating Disruption using Vibrational Signals to disturb the behaviour of S. titanus. Unfortunately, this biotechnical method is not yet available commercially for winegrower’s application. However, since
this is a very innovative and promising tool, and there is a strong interest of the winegrowers and technicians on this technique, the consortium decided to create a technical datasheet to disseminate this technique.
