Can I move vines and cuttings from my vineyard? From which states can I get clean (certified) grapevines? How do I know they are free of phylloxera? What does ‘certified’ mean? Best Practice: Source vines in WA Plant only certified vines and rootstocks, from WSDA certified nurseries There are 5 certified nurseries in Washington (list) CPC-NW (National Clean Plant Network) Prosser If propagating from your own stock, test the mother vine first, or at least use a vine not showing disease symptoms Why plant WSDA Certified Vines?

Washington, Oregon & Idaho Departments of Ag have been meeting with industry and researchers since 2016 Goal 1: Harmonize grapevine quarantine rules in Washington, Oregon & Idaho Goal 2: Compare WA and OR certification rules and create a regional, harmonized standard to be used in both states. Goal 3: Make it easier to move certified vines between states, remove barriers to trade, protect industry WSDA Quarantine: What is staying the same? • Disease protection-Only certified vines from official state certification programs can enter Washington- • Programs approved for import are: WA, OR, CAL, & Canada (no other states!) Image(s) • Insect/Nematode Protection- Treatment to kill insects and nematodes (hot water treatment or fumigation), from infested states Harmonizing PNW ~ 78,000 acres Grape Quarantines ~ 30,000 acres • Grape acreage differs significantly among ~ 2300 acres three PNW states • Geographic proximity = similar pests WSDA Quarantine: Adding new pests Grape Quarantine pests: • Adding Q pests to harmonize with OR/ID (a) Grapevine fanleaf virus; and address survey findings- (b) Grapevine leafroll associated • ADD Grapevine Red Blotch Virus viruses; (c) Grapevine virus A; • ADD Glassy Wing Sharpshooter (vectors (d) Grapevine virus B; Pierce’s disease) (e) Grapevine Red Blotch Virus; • ADD European Grapevine Moth (f) Pierce’s Disease (Xylella • ADD Xiphenema index (vectors virus) fastidiosa); (g) Grapevine phylloxera (h) Vine mealybug • Surveys have found GRBV in vineyards (WA, (i) Glassy wing sharpshooter OR, ID) (j)European Grapevine Moth • WSDA surveys have not found GWSS or (k) Xiphenema index (nematode) EGV Moth, or X. index; WSDA Quarantine: What is changing? • Quarantine will make it clear that it applies to areas INSIDE Washington State found infested with a Q pest. Where GLRaV, GRBV and Grape Image(s) Phylloxera are found in WA, the site may be required to implement a Pest Management Plan (BMPs, insect control, restricted movement of vines/equipment from infected vineyards). WSDA Pest Management Plan: If you know your vineyard is infested- Avoid spreading phylloxera or leafroll viruses to new sites by implementing a Pest Management Plan; Viruses: Do not propagate using cuttings from vines showing leafroll or red blotch virus symptoms. Phylloxera: Replace own-rooted vines with tolerant rootstock-grafted vines, over time; All Pests: Only plant vines or rootstocks from WA, OR or CA nursery sources that are pathogen-tested/certified. Pest Management Plan Elements- Train staff to spot insect & disease symptoms Only plant state certified pathogen-tested vines & rootstocks Have mother vine tested for viruses before you take cuttings At harvest, clean soil & debris from equipment before leaving each field Awareness is Key!

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

  • GRAPE and WINE INDUSTRY SUBMISSION to the NATIONAL XYLELLA FASTIDIOSA ACTION PLAN 27Th December 2018
    GRAPE AND WINE INDUSTRY SUBMISSION TO THE NATIONAL XYLELLA FASTIDIOSA ACTION PLAN 27th December 2018 Australia’s grape and wine industry welcomes the opportunity to provide comments to the National Xylella Fastidiosa Action Plan. As the signatory to the Emergency Plant Pest Response deed, and member of Plant Health Australia, Australian Vignerons (AV) is currently the organisation with national remit in addressing biosecurity issues in the wine industry. More recently the Winemakers’ Federation of Australia (WFA) has joined as a member of Plant Health Australia. As of 1st February 2019, AV and WFA will amalgamate to form a single industry peak body, Australian Grape and Wine. This submission has been written on behalf of the wine industry and has received input and endorsement from the following national and state-based organisations: • Australian Vignerons: peak industry body for winegrape growers across Australia; • Winemakers’ Federation of Australia: peak industry body for Australia’s Winemaker; and • Vinehealth Australia: SA statutory authority governed by the Phylloxera and Grape Industry Act 1995 to protect vineyards from pest and disease; The Australian Wine Research Institute also reviewed the submission. The Australia wine industry The Australian wine industry supports the economic, environmental and social fabric of 65 rural and regional wine regions across the country. It is the only agricultural industry that is quite so vertically integrated at the production and manufacturing enterprise level based in rural and regional Australia. Winemakers grow grapes, manufacture the wine, package, distribute, export and market their own product. A large grower community provides wineries a diverse supply base to meet product and market requirements.

  • Enzone Does Little to Improve Health of Phylloxera-Infested Vineyards
    Pockets of grapevines weakened from phylloxera feeding. is difficult for a number of reasons. Phylloxera are often widely distrib­ uted throughout the root profile and can be found to great depths. Soil chemistry, especially pH, may neutral­ ize an insecticide and reduce its effi­ cacy. Chemical movement through vineyard soils is uneven, depth of pen­ etration is often insufficient and cover­ age is limited by some methods of application. In addition, there are often environmental concerns about groundwater contamination.

  • 2017 Grape Survey Report
    2017 Grape Survey K. Buckley & M. Klaus 2017 Entomology Project Report - Plant Protection Division, Pest Program Washington State Department of Agriculture 2 May 2018 2017 Grape Survey Report Katharine D. Buckley & Michael W. Klaus, Washington State Department of Agriculture Summary The WSDA conducted a Grape Commodity Survey in 2017 to determine the status of invasive pests and diseases in Washington State affecting juice, wine and table grapes. Except for Grape Phylloxera, which is known to occur in Washington, no other target pests of this survey were found. Background Washington State is 2nd in the US in wine grape production with 55,445 acres currently in production (Mertz et al. 2017), which support over 900 wineries (washingtonwine.org). The impact of this wine industry on the state is estimated to be $4.8 billion (washingtonwine.org). Washington is also the largest producer of juice grapes (Honig et al. 2017) with 21,632 acres of primarily Concord and some Niagara varieties (Mertz et al. 2017). The value of these crops could decrease substantially if certain invasive pests established here. Additional pesticide sprays would be required, which would disrupt Integrated Pest Management (IPM) programs already in place. All of these pests and diseases are also restricted by various countries, making exports of vine stock, nursery stock and fresh fruit more difficult. 1 2017 Grape Survey K. Buckley & M. Klaus Light Brown Apple Moth (Epiphyas postvittana (Walker)) Light brown apple moth (LBAM) is a highly polyphagous species with more than 1,000 plant species including over 250 fruits and vegetables such as apples, citrus, corn, peaches, berries, tomatoes and avocados (Weeks et al.
