  • Grape Disease Control 2018
    GRAPE DISEASE CONTROL, 2018 Bryan Hed, Department of Plant Pathology and Environmental Microbiology, Penn State University, Lake Erie Regional Grape Research and Extension Center, North East PA 16428 ([email protected]) As many of you know Wayne Wilcox, who has annually provided us with an incredibly thorough grape disease management update each spring, has retired. Filling Wayne's shoes is going to be a tall task to say the least, and the search for his replacement goes on. For now, I will attempt to provide a brief summary of some of the pertinent changes in grape disease control that I hope will be useful for grape growers in the 2018 season. For consistency, I'll roughly be using Wayne's format from his previous newsletter from June of 2017. FUNGICIDE CHANGES, NEWS, & REVIEWS Here is some new, and sort of new information regarding grape fungicides in 2018. First, Aprovia/Aprovia Top. The active ingredient in Aprovia is solatenol (benzovindiflupyr), and while it does not represent a new chemical class for us grape growers (succinate dehydrogenase inhibitor or SDHI) it is one of those 'new generation' SDHIs that Wayne spoke of last year. The SDHI fungicides belong to FRAC Group 7, which also includes chemistries in products like Endura and Pristine (boscalid) and Luna Experience (fluopyram). Aprovia was available for use in most states last year, but has now been labeled for use in New York as well. As a solo product, Aprovia is very effective for the control of powdery mildew as trials in NY over several years have shown.

Cockburn Assistant Professor of Food Science Robert F. Roberts Professor of Food Science Head of the Department of Food Science Approved by: Dr. ii ABSTRACT Numerous studies have indicated that the wine microbiome could generate various volatile compounds which could lead to distinguishing and different wine characteristics. However, little research regarding the wine microbiome is investigating specific microorganisms and their role within the entire microbial community under a more comprehensive sampling method. Thus, in this study we conducted direct sampling from Central and Northeast PA wineries instead of using lab-scale production to study the effect of the wine microbiome on the wine metabolome. Resulting grape and wine samples were characterized by next-generation sequencing and headspace-solid phase microextraction-gas chromatography-mass spectrometry (HS-SPME-GC-MS). Collectively, the innovative sampling and experimental techniques provided a high-resolution picture of microbial dynamics and the resulting wine volatile profiles. Overall, we illustrated how microbial diversity and relative abundance of specific microorganisms change as fermentation progressed. Also, various wine volatile metabolites that are formed during the different fermentation stages were identified.

  • CHARDONEL – Still Wine Styles
    CHARDONEL – Still Wine Styles MEETING NOTICE The topic for our January meeting is "Chardonel Still Wine Styles". Fifty-nine wineries in Missouri produce wine using the Chardonel grape (1) , making it one of the most popular regional wines. Amateur wine makers in Missouri are fortunate that high quality Chardonel grapes are available from local vineyards. Steve Brunkhorst will lead the meeting, and will share his 2014 vintage Chardonel wines. We will taste his Chardonel produced in glass without flavor or aroma modification, and compare it to the same base wine produced with malolactic fermentation as well the same base wine aged with American oak. We will also taste Chardonel wines from several Missouri wineries.

  • Matching Grape Varieties to Sites Are Hybrid Varieties Right for Oklahoma?
    Matching Grape Varieties to Sites Are hybrid varieties right for Oklahoma? Bruce Bordelon Purdue University Wine Grape Team 2014 Oklahoma Grape Growers Workshop 2006 survey of grape varieties in Oklahoma: Vinifera 80%. Hybrids 15% American 7% Muscadines 1% Profiles and Challenges…continued… • V. vinifera cultivars are the most widely grown in Oklahoma…; however, observation and research has shown most European cultivars to be highly susceptible to cold damage. • More research needs to be conducted to elicit where European cultivars will do best in Oklahoma. • French-American hybrids are good alternatives due to their better cold tolerance, but have not been embraced by Oklahoma grape growers... Reasons for this bias likely include hybrid cultivars being perceived as lower quality than European cultivars, lack of knowledge of available hybrid cultivars, personal preference, and misinformation. Profiles and Challenges…continued… • The unpredictable continental climate of Oklahoma is one of the foremost obstacles for potential grape growers. • It is essential that appropriate site selection be done prior to planting. • Many locations in Oklahoma are unsuitable for most grapes, including hybrids and American grapes. • Growing grapes in Oklahoma is a risky endeavor and minimization of potential loss by consideration of cultivar and environmental interactions is paramount to ensure long-term success. • There are areas where some European cultivars may succeed. • Many hybrid and American grapes are better suited for most areas of Oklahoma than
