If you listen to podcasts, you might be interested in listening to the podcast found in the link below. This is from a new University of Arkansas podcast site that is sponsored by the Southern Region Small Fruit Consortium, the same group that funds much of the training of county agents on wine grape production, as well as providing numerous grants for wine grape research in Georgia. I am the guest on this particular podcast interview, and I mainly discuss disease control on wine grapes in Georgia and the Southeast as a whole. Therefore, you might find this podcast episode to be of value — reinforcing your knowledge of disease control in wine grapes.
