New Research: Grapevine Trunk Disease Journal Articles & Posters

Research Updates & Posters on Grapevine Trunk Disease in Canadian Vineyards

In both Ontario and British Columbia, recent research from the current and past iteration of the AgriScience Grape & Wine Cluster has improved our understanding of identifying and controlling Grapevine Trunk Diseases (GTDs) in this country. Several academic and plain-language resources are now available to be shared! Special thanks to Dr. José Urbez-Torres (AAFC Summerland) and Dr. Oualid Ellouz (AAFC London) for compiling these resources.

This research was funded in part by Agriculture and Agri-Food Canada (AAFC), the British Columbia Wine Grape Council (BCWGC), Ontario Grape and Wine Research Inc. (OGWRI), and/or other industry and academic partners acknowledged in each article or poster below.
