Argentina Lobesia botrana pest control measures

Overview

Argentina has implemented new regulatory measures to manage the Lobesia botrana pest, commonly known as the grapevine moth. Through Resolution 870/2026, SENASA updated the Risk Mitigation System (SMR) for fresh grapes and established new protocols for the movement of grapes, raisins, and agricultural machinery. The regulation introduces the mandatory Electronic Plant Sanitary Transit Document (DTV-e) to improve traceability and sets specific disinfection requirements for harvesting and transport equipment to prevent pest spread.

In response to these management efforts, local authorities in San Rafael scheduled a briefing for October 1 to discuss the 2026/2027 campaign. While the pest's presence in southern Mendoza is reported to be significantly lower than in other viticultural areas—covering approximately 0.6% of the provincial total—officials are emphasizing continued vigilance and detailing prevention strategies for local producers.
