Our Mission:

​

Our primary goal is to unravel the intricate puzzle of grapevine pests in Baja California vineyards. We aim to understand their distribution, niche caracteristics, and the factors that drive their presence. Armed with this knowledge, our mission extends to:

​

1. Precision Pest Management:

​

By identifying pest hotspots and their preferred conditions, we empower vineyard owners with targeted strategies to manage and mitigate pest infestations. Our ultimate aim is to protect the health of the vineyards and the quality of the grapes they produce.

​

2. Environmental Insights:

​

Studying the interaction between pests and environmental factors provides valuable insights into the delicate balance of ecosystems within the vineyards. This knowledge contributes to sustainable agricultural practices that minimize environmental impact.

​

3. Scientific Advancement:

​

Our research advances the field of entomology and pest management. It contributes to the broader scientific community's understanding of species distribution modeling and how it can be applied to real-world agricultural challenges.

​

4. Economic Sustainability:

​

Healthy vineyards yield better crops, and better crops mean economic sustainability for vineyard owners and the local economy. Our findings directly impact the economic viability of vineyard operations in the region.
