Ole 9 Vineyard
Wine grape production in Harford County: the use of canines as a deterrent to deer damage.
Summary
Increasing deer populations can threaten both traditional and alternative crops. This project will explore the effectiveness of roving dogs as a deterrent to deer predation in a vineyard, and will integrate the effort into a larger integrated pest management program for both animals and insects.
