  • LWC Grower Newsletter June 2005
    JUNE 2005 It is Time to Remind Everyone of Sulfur Dust Stewardship LODI - WOODBRIDGE WINEGRAPE COMMISSION Sulfur dust is the backbone of Lodi’s powdery mildew management program. Now that the season is in full swing a lot of sulfur dust is being applied. I have become aware that some of the sulfur stewardship principles promoted in our region have not been adhered to in some instances. For example, during a recent early morning period of temperature inversion a sulfur dusting in a vineyard next to a county road created a dust cloud that slowly drifted across the road creating a hazard for passing vehicles. In other cases sulfur dusting was done in such strong winds that it • was clear the application would not provide effective coverage to control mildew. To preserve the use of sulfur in Lodi vineyards for the long term RESEARCH IPM NEWSLETTER it is absolutely critical that all growers and equipment operators adhere to the sulfur stewardship principles. I am sure none of us want to see the Lodi wine industry featured on the evening news because a school bus was dusted with sulfur. Some of the more important sulfur dust stewardship are: • Stop dusting activities if sulfur will drift into sensitive areas Managing Spider Mites in Lodi Vineyards • Avoid applications when people are active in areas bordering a treated vineyard responding from the warmer growing regions Willamette mites and Pacific mites are diffi- BY CLIFF OHMART reported that about the only time they see cult to tell apart. The UC Grape Pest • If dusting equipment allows, disengage blower when making row turns LWWC Research/IPM Director Willamette mites become a problem is when Management Manual may be of help here.

  • Aglianico from Wikipedia, the Free Encyclopedia
    Aglianico From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia Aglianico (pronounced [aʎˈʎaːniko], roughly "ahl-YAH-nee- koe") is a black grape grown in the Basilicata and Campania Aglianico regions of Italy. The vine originated in Greece and was Grape (Vitis) brought to the south of Italy by Greek settlers. The name may be a corruption of vitis hellenica, Latin for "Greek vine."[1] Another etymology posits a corruption of Apulianicum, the Latin name for the whole of southern Italy in the time of ancient Rome. During this period, it was the principal grape of the famous Falernian wine, the Roman equivalent of a first-growth wine today. Contents Aglianico from Taurasi prior to veraison Color of Black 1 History berry skin 2 Relationship to other grapes Also called Gnanico, Agliatica, Ellenico, 3 Wine regions Ellanico and Uva Nera 3.1 Other regions Origin Greece 4 Viticulture Notable Taurasi, Aglianico del Vulture 5 Wine styles wines 6 Synonyms Hazards Peronospera 7 References History The vine is believed to have first been cultivated in Greece by the Phoceans from an ancestral vine that ampelographers have not yet identified. From Greece it was brought to Italy by settlers to Cumae near modern-day Pozzuoli, and from there spread to various points in the regions of Campania and Basilicata. While still grown in Italy, the original Greek plantings seem to have disappeared.[2] In ancient Rome, the grape was the principal component of the world's earliest first-growth wine, Falernian.[1] Ruins from the Greek Along with a white grape known as Greco (today grown as Greco di Tufo), the grape settlement of Cumae.

Corti Interviews Conducted by Carole Hicke in 1991 Copyright " 1992 by The Regents of the University of California Since 1954 the Regional Oral History Office has been interviewing leading participants in or well-placed witnesses to major events in the development of Northern California, the West, and the Nation. Oral history is a modern research technique involving an interviewee and an informed interviewer in spontaneous conversation. The taped record is transcribed, lightly edited for continuity and clarity, and reviewed by the interviewee. The resulting manuscript is typed in final form, indexed, bound with photographs and illustrative materials, and placed in The Bancroft Library at the University of California, Berkeley, and other research collections for scholarly use. Because it is primary material, oral history is not intended to present the final, verified, or complete narrative of events. It is a spoken account, offered by the interviewee in response to questioning, and as such it is reflective, partisan, deeply involved, and irreplaceable. All uses of this manuscript are covered by a legal-agreement between The Regents of the University of California and Louis Trinchero dated February 14, 1992. The manuscript is thereby made available for research purposes. All literary rights in the manuscript, including the right to publish, are reserved to The Bancroft Library of the University of California, Berkeley.
