(Photo credit: Frank Zalom) Researchers at the University of California, Davis (UC-Davis) have found the vector that seems to be spreading grapevine red blotch, a major step toward controlling the disease. A virus known as grapevine red blotch-associated virus (GRBaV) was discovered in vineyards planted with red wine grape cultivars in Napa County in 2008. It creates a disease on vines that presents as red blotches that start on leaf margins or blades and continue onto primary and secondary veins. In white grape cultivars, the blotches appear white or pale yellow. The effects vary based on cultivars, but vines infected by red blotch have reduced total soluble solids in juice. Titratable acidity and pH can also be affected. But a team of scientists has discovered that the three-cornered alfalfa treehopper (Spissistilus festinus) carries and is able to transmit the virus that causes red blotch. “We still have to confirm transmission in the field, but we have some indications now that we have the vector,” said Frank Zalom, Distinguished Professor of Entomology at UC-Davis, who made the discovery with post-doctoral researcher Brian Bahder and USDA virologist Mysore “Sudhi” Sudarshana. Zalom said there are several other insects that carry the grapevine red blotch-associated virus, but it hadn’t been clear whether one of those insects, a nematode or some other method of transmission, delivered it to grapevines. The team was able to show the three-cornered alfalfa treehopper could transmit the virus in a lab setting. Now the team members will set out to show the same result in a field trial. “There is a good indication that we’ll be able to repeat that in the field,” Zalom said. Knowing how the virus is transmitted is key to stopping red blotch’s spread. Zalom said another research path will focus on how to manage three-cornered alfalfa treehoppers. A grower with a vineyard that has signs of red blotch should flag vines and have them tested by a commercial laboratory. If present, growers will need to decide whether to remove those vines and plant new vines. There is no current method for curing vines infected with red blotch.

Pest & Disease Situation The vineyards look clean and there are no noticeable disease or pests at this time. Cultural Practices: The hills have been removed and replanting was finished before the Memorial Day weekend. A third cover spray was applied to the vineyard. The third cover spray included Mancozeb, Stylet oil, Pristine and Danitol. The newly planted vines were herbicide sprayed with Snapshot and the older treated with Chateau. Grower Observations: There was some frost damage to vines primarily south of Wooster in Central to Southeast and Southwest Ohio that occurred over May 15 and 16. Cicadas have been seen in SE Ohio. *Cicada article in this issue for spray recommendations. Frost damage on Vidal from May 16 in Athens Photo by Neal Dix Dodged Another Bullet? By Dave Scurlock, OSU/OARDC Viticulture Outreach Specialist Winter has finally unclenched its fists, Jack Frost is DEAD and the growing season can finally begin. It was a mild winter with moderate snowfall so we did not anticipate or physically see any cold winter damage when we dissected grape buds prior to pruning. There is always the perennial threat of Spring Frost looming large every year, at least until we get past the third week of May. I did hear of freeze injury in South East Ohio, to a Concord planting in mid-April, where the shoots were out several inches. The vines rebounded, producing secondary and sometimes tertiary shoots to be injured by the mid-May frost event. The current guesstimate is that this year’s harvest will be half or less than last year’s harvest in this vineyard.

  • Pennsylvania Wine Industry - an Assessment
    Pennsylvania Wine Industry - An Assessment By: James Dombrosky, Ph.D. and Shailendra Gajanan, Ph.D. University of Pittsburgh at Bradford March 2013 EXECUTIVE SUMMARY This research examined the Pennsylvania wine industry’s characteristics, and compared the industry in terms of growth, state funding and shipping laws with those of other wine producing states in the East. The research also examined the industry’s use of economic funding and technical assistance programs, its capacity and growth potential, and its strengths, weaknesses, opportunities, and threats. Finally, it offered considerations for the industry and policymakers. For the study, the researchers used secondary data, interviewed industry stakeholders, observed and participated in two annual meetings of the Pennsylvania Winery Association (PWA), and conducted a survey to obtain data for an economic analysis on capacity and growth potential. According to the research results, the Pennsylvania wine industry is growing, but not as rapidly as some other eastern states, including Ohio, Maryland, Virginia, and North Carolina, over the last 5 years. All of those states, except Maryland, have higher annual wine production volumes than Pennsylvania. Pennsylvania wine production is also lower than that of New Jersey, and much lower than that of New York; however those states experienced small declines in wine production over the examined 5-year period of 2007-2011. Of the comparison states, New York, Ohio, Virginia, and North Carolina were found to have significantly higher levels of state funding for research and promotion than Pennsylvania. Funding sources for state wine industries included “dedicated” funding sources provided by excise taxes or similar assessments, legislative appropriations, grants and “gifts,” or private-sector funding.
