Grapevine Nursery Stock: Vine Health and Disease Status by Industry Experts Dr. James Stamp and Dr. Alan Wei

We are pleased to kick-off the new year with a highly educational presentation on vine health and disease status presented by two leading industry experts: Dr. Alan Wei, PhD, CEO & President of Agri-Analysis and Dr. James Stamp, PhD, of Stamp Associates Viticulture. The discussion centers on two threats to grapegrowers: Grapevine Red Blotch Virus (GRBaV) and Grapevine Leafroll Virus (GLRaV-3). Dr. Wei and Dr. Stamp will cover vectors of each virus, symptoms related to infection and management practices that growers can use in the vineyard. Critical to the prevention of these diseases begins with the selection and options of certified grapevine nursery stock. 

Dr. Wei and Dr. Stamp will share their experience and insights learned from the 2017/2018 production season. This will be a very informative and valuable meeting for growers. Please join us and bring your specific questions, concerns, observations and suggestions for our special industry guests.
