'Crop Protection & Monitoring' Cluster Update
For our fourth cluster research update webinar, we welcomed the following researchers to present updates on their respective Grape & Wine Cluster projects within the theme of Crop Protection and Monitoring, which aims to explore crop protection strategies for healthier fruit and a reduction in the use of pest control products:
-Dr. Tom Forge (Activity 15A - Unearthing the impacts of plant-parasitic nematodes on grapevine health and productivity)
-Dr. Deborah Henderson (Activity 16B - Novel approaches to IPM strategies for climbing cutworm in wine grapes)
-Dr. Tom Lowery (Activity 17A - Development of sustainable management practices for leafhoppers on grapes)
-Dr. Miranda Hart (Activity 19B - Using groundcover to control soil borne pathogens in grapevines)
