🍇Coming to a vineyard near you: New, highly disease-resistant grape varieties & autonomous robots to evaluate crops – and guide management – leaf by leaf, down to the chemical level. With @kaitlinmgold, @Yu_Cosmo_Jiang, @reischnewyork, @USDA_ARS

A @Cornell-led team evaluated the nighttime application of UV-C light to suppress 3 grapevine diseases—powdery and downy mildew, and sour rot—on Chardonnay and Vignoles in NY vineyards. In some cases, disease incidence was reduced to nil. #graperesearch bit.ly/3NCQ3Gn

In this @NapaWineAcademy article, @jamiegoode breaks down #sensoryscience. He explains that, of the 800 to 1,000 #aromaticcompounds found in #wine, not all are smellable. But they may still affect your nose--er, #retronasalolfaction. #graperesearch bit.ly/3gQfQON

An extreme cold snap in CO's #GrandValleyAVA in Oct 2020 killed 70%+ of vinifera. But the #coldhardy vines some growers were experimenting with survived. Hybrids have grown from 1% of the state's plantings in the early 2000s to 20% today. #graperesearch bit.ly/3CmnEiy

What 🍇 fruit quality and 🍷 quality attributes are controlled by the root? I don’t know but we are trying to figure that out. 150 mini vilifications on our rootstock mapping population. Hopefully we don’t make 150 nasty shots of Marquette, a few smelled a bit past prime….

After 20+ years of evaluation, @UMNHorticulture will this year release its 6th cold-hardy winegrape variety, to be called Clarion. Formerly MN 1220, it's a white variety suited to Zone 5 climates like IA and WI. #graperesearch bit.ly/3Rb6lGS

First prototype grapevine smoking chamber up and running today! It has a volume of about 21 m^3, and was built to enclose 6 whole vines. We’ll be calibrating this design over the next few months to be able to run a dose-response experiment in the field. @CASResearch_OSU

#Soilmapping and #variablerate fertilizer application technology can ensure growers apply the right amount of nutrients in the right place (2 of the 4 Rs of Nutrient Stewardship) by breaking a field or block into smaller management zones. #graperesearch bit.ly/3Q7VXQp

Using years of data, @Cornell’s @kaitlinmgold explains how (and how well) #biopesticides work. When rotated with conventional products, she says, they can help relieve pesticides' use pressure and cost, and reduce fungicide resistance. #graperesearch bit.ly/38MVe6u

The level of soil organic carbon (SOC) 🪱was almost 23 per cent higher in areas that had cover crops 🌱directly below vines, when compared to a standard method of spraying herbicide on the soil via @Winetitles @UniofAdelaide

Regions across the U.S. have faced late spring frosts. @OregonStateExt offers insights, including the fact that, “Type of frost matters.” They explain the difference between radiation and advection frosts and what mitigation tools can help. #graperesearch bit.ly/3KfgJcA
