The publication provides vineyard owners with approaches for finding the first occurrence of grape powdery mildew. The publication covers tactics to manage powdery mildew, including use of fungicides and canopy management. It also discusses effective scouting techniques based on the key characteristics of the fungus.
Mealybugs, a family of soft, oval-bodied pests (Homoptera: Pseudococcidae), are known vectors (carriers) of the grapevine leafroll associated viruses (GLRaVs) of grape. This document gives details on how pheromone traps should be used to ensure optimal catches and early detection.
Death of flower parts near bloom due to inflorescence necrosis (IN) is associated with high ammonium (NH₄⁺) concentration in flower clusters, shade, cool wet weather preceding bloom, and excessive vigor. Faults in NH₄⁺ assimilation are suspected to cause a rise in NH₄⁺ concentration to toxic levels in flower cluster but...
This online module provides information on nutrient needs of grapevines, symptoms of deficiency and/or toxicity, and vineyard nutrient management. A section of this module explains how to diagnose non-nutrient problems such as damage from diseases, insects, drought, sunburn, and herbicides.
With color photos and text, describes principal insect pests of hazelnuts (filberts) including their life stages, symptoms of infestation, and techniques for sampling population levels. Also describes beneficial insects (generalist natural enemies) that can combat pest insects.

This publication reviews the growth stages of grapes. For each growth stage (or group of growth stages), the document lists the more effective pesticides used to control insects, weeds, and disease; their rates; and application timing for Oregon grape growers. It also covers the effectiveness of various fungicides for control...
Nucleic acid extracted from dormant cane phloem of
grapevines affected by grapevine stem-pitting disease (SP)
formed a high molecular weight (MW) band on 1.0% and 0.8%
agarose gels. The band was unique to diseased vines. Other
bands appeared from samples of both diseased and virus-free
vines, but did not associate...
Inflorescence necrosis (IN) is a recently described disorder in grapes
characterized by partial or complete deterioration of the pedicel and rachis near
bloom. Elevated levels of ammonium in the rachis are associated with the
incidence of IN and hypothesized as the cause of the disorder. An incubation
system with single-node...
