Identify phytoplasma alternative hosts in and around North American Grapevine Yellows (NAGY)- affected vineyards and attempt to identify the characteristics of vineyards that predispose them to increased risk of NAGY 2. Evaluate efficacy of potential Grapevine Yellows management practices Summary North American Grapevine Yellows (NAGY) was recognized in Virginia vineyards as early as 1987. Principal investigator T. Wolf began a collaborative research association with Dr. Robert Davis and his lab at the USDA/ARS in Beltsville Maryland and that partnership led to a greater understanding of the nature of the pathogens that cause NAGY in Virginia. An important finding from our work of the nineties was that the causal agents of NAGY – bacteria-like organisms called phytoplasmas – were unique to grapevine yellows diseases in North America. That is, they were not the same pathogens that cause the European variants of the disease, such as Flavescence dorée , or Bois noir . The missing information about NAGY was which vector or vectors were involved in phytoplasma transmission, and what other plants in the vineyard environment served as alternative hosts for the pathogens.

  • IPM Elements for Wine Grapes in Virginia and North Carolina
    IPM Elements for Wine Grapes in Virginia and North Carolina Growers should use this document and its sub-headings as a checklist of possible Integrated Pest Management (IPM) practices that they could implement. Growers should count only the activities they perform in their wine grape pest management practices and aim to be compliant with at least 80% of the activities listed. This is not a requirement, but only a suggested level of compliance. This document is intended to help wine grape growers identify areas in their operations that possess strong IPM qualities and also point out areas for improvement. Growers should attempt to incorporate the majority of these specific techniques into their usual production and maintenance practices, especially in areas where they fall short of the 80% goal.

The objective of this work was to evaluate sugars, total phenols and organic acids concentrations in the grapes of four wine cultivars (Fetească Neagră, Pinot Noir, Traminer rose, Chardonnay) healthy and affected by specific symptoms to phytoplasmoses. Berry samples were collected from the Miniș-Măderat (Arad County) and Odobești (Vrancea County) vineyards. Individual sugars and organic acids compounds were identified and quantified in grape berries by the high performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) method using DAD and RID detectors, while total phenolic compounds by using spectrophotometry. The content and composition of sugars and acids varied between healthy and symptomatic plants. Analysis of grape juice revealed reduction in sugars (fructose and glucose) from symptomatic to non-symptomatic vines. Lower values of acidity were obtained in grapes of affected compared to non-affected vines. The differences in acids content between grapes of affected and not affected vines were more pronounced at Pinot Noir variety, with lower concentrations of malic and tartaric acids in grapes from symptomatic vines in both locations studied.

    THE SITUATION OF GRAPEVINE YELLOWS AND CURRENT RESEARCH DIRECTIONS: DISTRIBUTION, DIVERSITY, VECTORS, DIFFUSION AND CONTROL E. Boudon-Padieu Biologie et écologie des phytoplasmes, UMR 1088 Plante Microbe Environnement, INRA – Université de Bourgogne, Domaine d’Epoisses, BP 86510 – 21065 Dijon Cedex France Grapevine yellows (GY) are known now for 50 years. After the first appearance of Flavescence dorée (FD) in West-South France in the 1950’s, similar diseases have been observed in vineyards of other regions or countries (22) in Europe, North-America, Asia Minor and Australia. Typical symptoms are leaf rolling and discoloration of veins and laminae, uneven or total lack of lignification of canes, flower abortion or berry withering. Eventually, severe decline and death occur with sensitive varieties or with particular GY diseases. All these diseases have been associated with phytoplasmas. Phytoplasmas, discovered in 1967, are wall-less intracellular bacterias restricted to phloem sieve tubes and transmitted only by vector insects in which they multiply and circulate. Recently, comparisons of conserved regions in their genomic DNA, have permitted to classify all known phytoplasmas into about 20 groups and subgroups within a monophyletic clade in the Class Mollicutes, closest to the Acholeplasma clade (57, 78). Numerous DNA probes have been designed that permit diagnosis and identification of phytoplasmas in plant tissues and in insects. This, together with transmission assays, has also permitted the recent identification of new phytoplasma vectors. Though Koch’s postulate cannot be fully satisfied with non-culturable pathogen agents, it is now considered that phytoplasmas are responsible for typical GY symptoms. These conclusions have been reached because of transmission experiments with natural vectors in the case of Flavescence dorée (FD) and Bois noir (BN), of the similarity of symptoms caused world wide by GY diseases on numerous grapevine cultivars and of consistent detection of phytoplasmas in affected grapevines and in infective insect vectors.

  • 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.

Current situation Dormant pruning: Many vineyards commence pruning on better days of the fall including November and December. While there is some concern about the potential effects of very early (eg., November) pruning on subsequent cold hardiness of grapevines, the scant research done on this subject does not suggest a significant problem. Of course, compensation for winter injury, should it occur, has fewer options for vines that are finish-pruned before the threat of damaging low temperature injury. This has been the principal reason why operators of smaller vineyards often wait until

At present, two principal agents of GY are known to infest grapevines in Germany: Bois noir (BN) and Palatinate grapevine yellows (PGY). Disease management is mostly based on prophylactic measures as there are no curative in-field treatments available.
