Grape and Small Fruit Virology

Sources of virus-tested plant materials

The quality of wine depends on the health of the grapevines it was drawn from. Thus, planting a new vineyard with virus-tested cuttings from a reliable source will help establish a vineyard with consistent yields and quality grapes. The NorthWest Grape Foundation Service (http://nwgfs.wsu.edu/info.html) at WSU Prosser provides virus-tested plant materials. Certified nurseries in Washington and Oregon (listed at http://nwgfs.wsu.edu/certified.html) also provide clean planting materials for growers. In addition, virus-tested planting materials can be obtained from Foundation Plant Services at the University of California, Davis (http://fpms.ucdavis.edu/).

Contact the grape virologist at WSU for advice or questions.
