What should a vineyard compliance report include?

A complete vineyard compliance report should include: a summary of all pesticide applications by block, verification that all PHI and REI requirements were met, documentation of applicator training and licensing, equipment calibration records, weather monitoring data, worker notification documentation, and any buffer zone compliance records.

How often should compliance reports be generated?

Generate compliance reports at minimum annually, but best practice is monthly during the spray season and quarterly during the off-season. Immediate reports should be generated after any application to a block approaching harvest, any incident or complaint, or any regulatory inspection notification.

What regulations govern vineyard pesticide compliance?

Vineyard pesticide use is regulated by federal EPA rules (FIFRA), state agriculture department regulations, and the Worker Protection Standard (WPS). Additional requirements may apply from certification programs (organic, sustainable), export markets, and county agricultural commissioners. Requirements vary significantly by state.

What happens if my records are incomplete during an audit?

Incomplete records during a regulatory audit can result in citations, fines, mandatory additional training, increased inspection frequency, and in serious cases, loss of applicator licenses or certifications. Prevention is key: maintain records in real-time using digital tools like VitiScribe to avoid gaps.
