Here's something I just read on an archery website. I copied it for info. I have not tested it but am wondering if monofilament might hamper racoons too? Want...
Does anyone have a solution for weeds that start to grow in the vineyard this time of year? Here in Wyoming we have Koshia which starts in late June and takes ...
As far as I know, Baco Noir is resistant to PD, as a result of it's breeding. Since it is a hybrid and not a true Vinifera. I have 60 in Kansas in their 8th...
Mark, To my knowledge Kansas is not a PD hotbed. And there are many hybrids that are susceptible to PD. I would be careful about growing Baco Noir in a known...
Tell you what, thoš, Baco can absolutely thrive on our Kansas 10-day-long 95°F hot spells! And still make an awfully nice, rustic wine. I never had any...

Mike, Thatšs interesting to heartherešs some tannin/astringency in the Couderc that would round out the Cynthiana very nicely. That blend should age ...

In Temperate Zone Pomology, Dr. M.N. Westwood wrote about an experiment in which dormant plants were exposed to two treatments. I THINK it was pear trees, but...

Indeed! PD susceptibility is quite complicated. Unfortunately, I AM in a PD hotbed, and at least two of my hybrids--Vidal blanc and St. Vincent--are worse...
thanks Lon, but i'm not concerned with dormancy. i'm more concerned with freezing out the PD in the vines every winter. In order to do that, i would need to...
Seems pointless if you can't be sure the vines won't be reinfected. The problem I see is that you have no real way to regulate the temperature without having...

Seems to me you could set up one of those pickup trucks like they have in Somalia, "technicals", and tool around the vineyard in that. Maybe add a sprayer and...

my understanding (based on the research i cited) is that vines can and do get infected with PD in any place that the carrier (leafhopper) is present. The only...
