Scientists are gaining a better understanding of Pierce’s disease and how it affects grapevines. The disease, which annually costs California more than $100 million, comes from a bacterium called ...

The spotted lanternfly feeds on many plants, but its preferred hosts are the Tree of Heaven, an invasive plant introduced to Philadelphia from China in 1784, and grapevines. Extensive feeding by these ...

The implications of this research extend beyond grapevines and offer insights into the genetic mechanisms of resistance in other susceptible crops. By harnessing the power of genetics, genomics, and ...

Grapevines are ideal plants for covering gaps on fences and walls. Plant between autumn and early spring and they will grow quickly, filling an empty space as well as providing you with fruit.

Grapevines were, it seems, domesticated on two occasions, in quick succession but in different parts of the world, about 11,000 years ago. That makes the old model so much noble rot.

Out in the field, grapevines are susceptible to a multitude of threats, ranging from disease to rot and pests. Pesticides, including subsets fungicides and herbicides, can help ward of potential ...

While heavy infestations of spotted lanternfly on grapevines—especially in successive years—can result in their demise, most vines may be able to survive lighter infestations with few ill effects.

So, it really made sense,” he said. Tending grapevines involves a lot of cutting, he said, opening up a route for the bacteria to move in. And pith cells are rich in fatty acids.

Virus-resistant Grapevines Date: July 8, 2009 Source: Fraunhofer-Gesellschaft Summary: Viruses can cost winegrowers an entire harvest. If they infest the grapevines, even pesticides are often no ...

But look elsewhere if it's low maintenance or fast production that you want. Grapevines need a lot of attention and as many as five years to mature from bare root plants.
