PD-Resistance
Research project evaluating productivity and survival of three newly developed, Pierce's disease resistant, 87.5% V. vinifera lines from UC-Davis.
Rootstocks
Additional work focused on rootstock viability for southeast producers using 'Norton' and 'Chardonel' scions own-rooted and grafted onto '1103P', 'Kober 5BB', and 'Teleki 5C'.
