United States Department of Agriculture outlines control for the grape leaf folder, a brow moth larva that folds grape leaves.

The text discusses applying Bordeaux mixture as a fungicide and timing spring and post blossom treatments to combat grape leaf folders.

Dr J H Merrill Kansas State Agricultural College and the Kansas Agricultural Experiment Station urge a control method combining spring warming of trees, protective wash, and larva removal.

The article advises spring planting for grapes with two year old vines as best. It notes use of wood ashes as fertilizer, firming soil, and training on a frame trellis or wire.
