W ith a 13-cent increase, each Keyport taxpayer would pay $1.45 per $100 assessed property value in school prop­ erty taxes. The owner of a house valued at $100,000 would see a $130 increase and a total of $1,450 in school taxes for the year. A hearing will be conducted on the budget at 8 p.m. April 13 at Keyport Central School, and then the proposed tax levy will be submitted to voters in the April 19 school election. The preliminary budget, introduced last week by the Alania Infantino and Roger Wang, third-graders at the Village School in Holmdel, are learning about peer Board of Education, includes current expenses of pressure, coping skills and getting help from Lisa C.

  • A Review of Cold Climate Grape Cultivars
    A Review of Cold Climate Grape Cultivars Introduction There has been interest in growing grapes in the upper Midwest and other cold climate regions of North America. One of the problems growers face in these regions is selecting cultivars (cultivated varieties) that will withstand severe winters, mature in short growing seasons, and be productive. As grape acreage increases in cold climate regions, too often cultivar selections are being made based upon testimonial or anecdotal information. With the high costs of vineyard establishment there is an increasing need for a standard reference to assist growers in selecting best adapted cultivars. According to Dr. Gail Nonnecke at Iowa State University; “When selecting grape cultivars to grow, one must consider the characteristics of the fruit as well as the vine. The vines have to be adapted to local growing conditions and the fruit must meet our needs.” This project was undertaken to develop a reference that will be useful for selecting grape cultivars to plant in cold climates. Such a reference should document and standardize origin, viticulture characteristics, disease and pest resistance, cold hardiness, and wine quality characteristics. Specific objectives of the project were to assemble information on: The origin of the cultivars including: synonyms; pedigree; county or state of origin, breeder and institution; date of cross and release or introduction into the U.S.; and type. Viticultural and fruit characteristics including: growth habit and vigor; time of bud break and productivity on secondary buds; days from bloom to harvest; specific cultural concerns; and cluster and berry characteristics. Pest concerns including: a standardized ranking of susceptibility to disease; specific pest concerns, sensitivity to sulfur, copper and other pesticides; and sensitivity to grow regulator herbicide drift (2,4-D and dicamba).

  • Screening a Large Set of Grape Accessions for Resistance Against Black Rot (Guignardia Bidwellii /(Ell.))
    MITTEILUNGEN KLOSTERNEUBURG 67 (2017): 149-157 ROZNIK et al. SCREENING A LARGE SET OF GRAPE ACCESSIONS FOR RESISTANCE AGAINST BLACK ROT (GUIGNARDIA BIDWELLII /(ELL.)) Dóra Roznik, Sarolta Hoffmann and Pál Kozma University of Pécs, Research Institute for Viticulture and Enology, Department of Grape Breeding H-7634 Pécs, Pázmány P. u. 4 E-Mail: [email protected] Beside grey rot, powdery and downy mildew, black rot is one of the most dangerous diseases of grapevine all over the world. In epidemic years it can cause crop losses up to 100 %. Black rot was first observed in Hungary, in 1999 thereaf- ter favourable weather conditions enabled the development of a country-wide epidemic in 2010. Since that time epi- demics appeared almost every year in Hungary. Newly developed grapevine varieties, highly resistant against powdery and downy mildew, cultivated without any chemical plant protection, are susceptible to black rot, so in order to avoid the increase of considerable economic losses plant protection is definitely necessary. Our aim is finding appropriate resistance sources for black rot resistance and integrating them into the newly developed fungus resistant grapevine assortment. The present work evaluates numerous grape accessions for black rot resistance: French-American hybrids and their backcrosses, Vitis amurensis hybrids and Vitis vinifera varieties indigenous in Georgia. The varieties 'Csillám', 'Seyval blanc' ('SV 5276') and two Vitis amurensis hybrids were identified as highly resistant against both leaf and berry infections. Keywords: Vitis vinifera L., Vitis interspecific hybrids, fungal diseases, black rot, resistance breeding, phenotyping Überprüfung einer großen Anzahl von Reb-Akzessionen auf Resistenz gegen Schwarzfäule (Guignardia bidwel- lii /(Ell.)).

  • Origins of Interspecific Hybrid Winegrapes Eric T. Stafne Department of Horticulture and Landscape Architecture, Oklahoma State University, Stillwater, OK 74078
    Origins of Interspecific Hybrid Winegrapes Eric T. Stafne Department of Horticulture and Landscape Architecture, Oklahoma State University, Stillwater, OK 74078 Eric T. Stafne is an assistant professor and extension specialist for fruit crops and pecans at Oklahoma State University. He works primarily with grapes and pecans, but also has experience and interest in other fruit crops. Introduction to Grapes Grapes are in the Vitaceae family which consists of 11 genera and 600 species, including the most commercially important genus, Vitis. Vitis is the only food-bearing genus in the family and has two subgenera: Euvitis and Muscadinia. All bunch grapes are in the Euvitis subgenus of which Vitis vinifera is the most important species. V. vinifera originated in the Caspian Sea region and there have been more than 5000 named cultivars. The range in which V. vinifera can be successfully cultivated is limited by climatic factors. This species requires a long growing season, relatively high summer temperatures, low humidity, a rain-free harvest period, and mild winter temperatures. It is most often used for wine, but these grapes can also be used to produce juice, raisins, canned good, rootstocks, or for fresh consumption. Other Important Grape Species There are also other important grape species that have been utilized in the creation of interspecific hybrids. These species are from North America, and the most well-known is V. labrusca. V. labrusca (also called V. labruscana) is commonly called the Fox Grape. The most famous cultivars from this species are ‘Concord’, ‘Niagara’, and ‘Isabella’. It has large berries, small clusters, fair pest resistance, and a distinctive and strong flavor.
