Joachim Schmid 64 • Thanks to the phylloxera situation viticulture without rootstocks is not possible. • Rootstocks are crucial for optimal plant growth and wine quality. • Sustainable viticulture is possible only with healthy rootstock and scion material. • Only clonal selection can guarantee the supply of healthy and virus tested plant material. • Breeding of new phylloxera resistant rootstock varieties as well as a high number of selected clones contribute towards a higher biodiversity. • This allows a better adaptation to different soil types and various climatic situations.

Joachim Schmid 65 Conclusion The introduction of new completely phylloxera resistant rootstocks will contribute to a larger biodiversity, which is a good protection measure against phylloxera and possible new root diseases. Performance characteristics of the new Geisenheim rootstock crosses are comparable with most of the common rootstocks. An increase in rootstock biodiversity is crucial for the future development of a sustainable viticulture.

Joachim Schmid 66 Apart from enabling the cultivation of vines on phylloxera infested sites, choosing the right rootstock is essential for modern grape quality management.

Choosing the wrong rootstock can have a disastrous effect on wine quality

The right rootstock is - a life insurance against Phylloxera - a guarantee for sustainable wine production
