Grapevine is one of the most important fruit crops worldwide, but diseases such as downy mildew, powdery mildew, and gray mold, together with various insect pests, have long threatened its yield, quality, and the sustainable development of the industry. However, the traditional reliance on frequent chemical control has also led to resistance development, residue contamination, and ecological risks. This study systematically reviews the current status and development trends of integrated pest and disease management technologies in grapevine, with particular emphasis on the synergistic roles of agronomic regulation, biological control, resistant breeding, monitoring and early warning, precision spraying, and smart management. The results indicate that IPM, through threshold-based decision-making, multi-technology integration, and digital support, can reduce pesticide dependence and improve ecological benefits while ensuring yield and quality. Among these approaches, resistant cultivars, microbial and botanical products, decision support systems (DSS), as well as drones and Internet of Things technologies, have shown strong application potential. Overall, grapevine pest and disease management is shifting from chemical-dependent approaches toward precision-based, intelligent, and ecological strategies. This study provides a theoretical basis and practical reference for building a low-input, resilient, and sustainable modern grapevine protection system.
