I don't know if this would make null your effort to be organic, but I would think, as a thought to Integrated Pest Management (IPM) that you spray only those weeds that attract the beetles and leave the grapes alone. I have read about, and have seen first hand, that the beetle are very attracted to Pennsylvania Smartweed (see picure attached). Learn to identify the weed and remove it before it attracts the beetle.

Yep you are pretty close. I'm over north east of
Anderson.
I have read about Milky Spore and it is an organic control
method, but I'm not sure that the expense of it is worth it for me and I've read
about several issues related to application timing and how well it's worked into
the soil, although I like the long term affects it's supposed to have. I
own several acres that used to be farm and it would cost me a fortune to treat
all of that and this is just a hobby for me. I left my property fallow
last year so maybe I just didn't have many Japanese Beetles because of that or
because they just aren't around me that thick. I know they were there
because there were some weeds they REALLY liked that were completely defoliated
when I would come across, but I never saw lots of them. Hopefully they
just don't like me and stay away... :)

Scott,
By location, I'm practically your neighbor,
living between Westfield and Sheridan. No, the Japanese beetles did not
have an off year last year. I kept them under control with Sevin dust for
most of the time. This year, we are applying diazinon to the fertilizer
application in hopes of capturing the grubs before they pupate.
Milky
spores are suppose to control them as well, but I'm not sure if it can be used
under an "Organic" program. Anyone have additional information on
this?

fantastic year picking strawberries!

[NAFEX] Grape Vines and Japanese Beetles
I just planted three grape
vines this spring and have read that Japanese Beetles take a liking to
them. I was wondering if anyone knew if I should be real concerned about
them or not. I have only lived at my current location about a year and
didn't notice a large number of them last year, but it could have been an off
season for them. I am trying to go organic with my property and would like
to avoid spraying if possible. I'm assuming that once the vines get larger
they can handle minor problems, but I don't really want the find them defoliated
the first year I've had them planted. Any suggestions and/or info would be
much appreciated.
