ASEV Presents Full-Day Symposium Focused on Recent Advances in Grapevine Red Blotch Virus (GRBV) Vectors and Management

Symposium Chair Dr. Anita Oberholster of the University of California, Davis, has pulled a line-up of speakers that will have you seeing red…I mean, Red Blotch.

This full-day comprehensive update on GRBV and its impact on the wine industry will be presented by leading researchers in their respective fields. Presentations will include an overview of the virus and progression, how red blotch disease spreads, methods for tracking the disease remotely, how to mitigate the disease in the vineyard and how GRBV impacts wine composition and sensorial attributes.

The symposium will offer practical advice on how to counter GRBV, appropriate controls, and an opportunity to taste wines made from grapes infected with the disease.
