Ride to Argentina + Mendoza, excursion (Aug 23-28)

Cecchin: they are using this peach tree in the middle of the vines as a trap crop - it matures sooner and attracts all the pests, then they can spray an organic pestide to kill them before they get to all the vines, thus using less insecticide because they are concentrating the pests in a smaller location!
