Rootstocks form a vital component of viticulture. The grafting of Vitis vinifera onto American roots is the perfect example of biological pest control, which saved vineyards planted with this species worldwide from being lost forever after the phylloxera invasion in the late 19th century. Grape phylloxera (Daktulosphaira vitifoliae) is an insect species in the Hemiptera order belonging to the Phylloxeridae family. It is a grapevine insect pest related to aphids. The invasive neophyte species was brought to Europe from the Eastern United States by botanists and found in France in 1863. In 1869, Victor Pulliat created the Société Régionale de Viticulture de Lyon (Lyon regional winegrowing society) and organised conferences and courses to advocate for the grafting of vines onto resistant American rootstocks to regenerate the French vines attacked by phylloxera. 👇🏼👇🏼 https://lnkd.in/exuEcndT

Understanding Erinose and the Importance of Our Viticulture Courses 🌿 In spring, you may notice swollen greenish to reddish galls on the upper side of young vine leaves. These galls, caused by hypertrophy of leaf hairs due to erinose mites, become reddish-brown as they age. While generally not harmful to harvests, severe spring infestations can hinder young shoots and cause flower abortion, affecting yield. Knowing how to manage such conditions is crucial. Our courses equip you with the knowledge to tackle these challenges effectively. Apply now to master viticulture! 🌱 ✨ Why Our Courses Matter: Hands-On Learning: Experience real-life vineyard management. Expert Instructors: Learn from seasoned viticulturists.

We are proud members of the Almond Alliance and we're excited to be attending the 41st Annual Convention in Kauai, Hawaii. If you're attending, be sure to seek out our TELONE™ Specialist Brian Hegland, who will be onsite to answer all of your nematode questions! Almond growers know that nematodes are a big problem, so it's vital to prep the #soil ahead of planting orchards. There are three major species of nematodes affecting almonds: root-knot, root lesion, and ring. Thankfully, growers have a powerful solution with TELONE™! Prepping the soil before planting creates a zone of protection where young roots can establish free from nematode pressure and grow into healthy trees with increased trunk diameters, larger canopies, and increased yields. We'll be posting more about orchard replant, so stay tuned for more info! And remember, there's no coming back from a poor start. https://lnkd.in/gxn-jbd8

This pilot study is just the initial step in exploring the social acceptance of the remarkable innovation known as agrivoltaics. Due to its complex nature and the accompanying regulatory ambiguities, agrivoltaics has yet to achieve the recognition it deserves. Its broader adoption is essential for both agriculture and the environment. Thanks you too, Alessandra Scognamiglio, as well as Mirella de Falco and Mauro Sarrica

🍇 New technical article 'Exploring #grapevine canopy management: effects of removing main #leaves or lateral shoots before flowering" 🔗 Freely available on IVES Technical Reviews at: https://lnkd.in/dWSnXZ3S ____________ 🧐 This study highlights the physiological effects of pre-flowering leaf removal from the fruiting zone of the Swiss white grape variety Petite Arvine, which is rich in varietal thiols. Pre-flowering removal of main leaves instead of lateral shoots appears to be a viable practice with a moderate effect on both the yield potential and the must composition; that is, higher concentrations of malic acid, yeast-assimilable nitrogen and glutathione. ✏️ Authors: Thibaut Verdenal, Vivian Zufferey, Agnès Dienes-Nagy, Stefan Bieri, Gilles Bourdin, Jean-Sébastien Reynard, Jean-Laurent Spring 📄 It is sourced from the #research article: “Exploring grapevine canopy management: effects of removing main leaves or lateral shoots before flowering” (OENO One, 2024). 📅 This article is published in cooperation with the 2nd edition of #TerclimPro (18–19 February 2025), Bordeaux & Cognac, France organised by INNO'VIN ISVV - Institut des Sciences de la Vigne et du Vin, UMR EGFV Bordeaux, Vitinnov, Bordeaux Sciences Agro, INRAE and IVES - International Viticulture and Enology Society.

I'm happy to represent the University of Tampa at the upcoming Reducetarian Summit in Dallas. I'll be presenting findings from recent research involving a highly representative sample of U.S. citizens that shows how the majority of people are open to meat reduction (rather than complete meat elimination). As a result, the best way to help end factory farming is to encourage incremental meat reduction via a national communication campaign.

A good example of an engineering control that reduces risk for repetitive strain injuries while simultaneously improving production. Great return on investment.
