Q

Reccomended spraying for Downy mildew/peronospera

start spraying as soon as flower bunches appear on new shoots. Every 20 mm rainfall, 15-20 cm plant growth or every 10-14 days, which ever is shorter.

34
Q

Weather requirements for Botrytis to occur

A

needs high humidity and warm temperatures to germinate

35
Q

Where Botrytis enters the vine

A

through a wound or a weak point in epidermis

36
Q

How is Botrytis spread through vine

A

by producing enzymes that breakdown plant tissue and cause it to brown.

37
Q

Peduncular sympotms common in cool climate with vigorous vines. Brown then black patches appear that dry the stems. Stops berry ripening, these shrivel then fall of. This is symptoms of

A

Grey rot (Botrytis)

38
Q

Berries go brown and skin becomes very sensitive to touch. if rainy, dense tufts of conidia (spores) appear, if dry infected berries shrivel up. This is symptoms of

A

Grey rot (Botrytis)

39
Q

With this infection shoot damage and attacks on flower clusters are rare. Berry infection is the most serious

A

Grey rot (Botrytis)

40
Q

In grape varietis with tight bunches infection will often start in the middle of the bunch and spread outwards

A

Grey rot (Botrytis)

41
Q

What is the best solution for Grey rot (Botrytis)

A

Preventative treatment as the disease is hard to control once present

42
Q

What fungicides are used to cure Grey rot (Botrytis)

A

broad spectrum fungicides also used for powdery mildew, also specific botrytis fungicides (used sparingly due to resistance problems)

43
Q

Critical spray times for Grey rot (Botrytis)

A

beginning of flowering, start of berry set, bunch closure, start of veraison, three weeks before harvest

44
Q

What are weather requirements for Noble Rot to occur

A

humid, damp mornings with mists followed by warm, dry afternoons are the perfect conditions (facilitated by proximity to a body of water)

45
Q

Disease starts it spread in the morning, starts feedin on water and other nutrients in the berry, inhibited by afternoon dry heat. This is symptoms of

A

Noble Rot

46
Q

Berry skin goes lilac instead of brown/grey and is not as sensitive to touch. Berry shrivels as the fungus removes water, thus concentrating the sugars. This is symptoms of

A

Noble Rot

47
Q

What weather condition can influence Noble rot to develop to grey rot

A

if significant rainfall occurs before harvest

48
Q

What varieties are prone to botrytis

A

thin skinned varieties such as Semillon, Chenin Blanc, Riesling, Sauvignon Blanc, Furmint

49
Q

Minute arachinds 0.2-0.5 mm long, color from white to dark red are called

A

mites

50
Q

They feed on green part of plant affecting photosynthesis, fruit set, cane ripening and grape ripening

A

mites. most damage red spider mite, yellow spider mite.

51
Q

What is a solution for mites

A

sulfur sprays used for fungal infections, predatory mites, in heavily infested areas miticides can be used during summer

52
Q

This disease is spread by fungus entering pruning wounds, needs mild temperatures and moisture

A

Eutypa dieback. Fungus blocks and kills water conducting tissue, eventually killing the arm.

53
Q

Symptoms of this disease are stunted shoots with small yellow cupped leaves, fruit quality is not affected but yield is substantially decreased.

A

Eutypa dieback.

54
Q

How you control Eutypa dieback.

A

by vineyard hygiene - pruning wounds should be covered with a fungicide paste. Pruning should be done in early winter when spore numbers are lower and also done in dry weather to minimize the risk of infection.

55
Q

This disease is sometimes inaccurately called Dead Arm, spreads slowly, difficult to eradicate once infected

A

phomopsis. Fungus causes basal buds to lose viability, restricts cane growth making them gragile, can lead to large decrease in yield.

56
Q

Symptoms of this disease are noticed first during winter pruning. infected canes whiten and snap off easily, shoot growing from infected canes develop brown patches of dead tissue, shoot is weakened making it vulnerable to breakage.

A

phomopsis.

57
Q

Leaf sympotms common in USA (not in Europe), small dark spots appear after rainfall

A

phomopsis

58
Q

How is phomopsis introduced to vineyard

A

infected planting material, will take a number of years to become apparent

59
Q

Phomopsis weather requirements

A

spreads easily in high humidity and lower temperatures, associated with damp areas and with rainy, cold springs.

60
Q

How to control phomopsis

A

buying planting material off reputable suppliers can be prevented by fungicidal sprays in winter or at germination in spring most effective is high winter dose of sodium arsenite but because is dangerous to humans its not approved for use in all vineyard areas

61
Q

Bacteria Xylella fastidiosa causes which deadly disease of grape vines

A

Pierce`s disease

62
Q

How is Pierce`s disease spread

A

by glassy winged sharpshooters, these transmit the bacteria from host plants to vines while feeding. Bacteria enter water conducting vessels and clog them up.

63
Q

Symptoms noticeable mid summer, leaves discolor which leads to leaf death over a period of a couple of weeks, the leaf then drops off the vine, new leaves are stunted and slow to develop

A

Pierce`s disease

64
Q

Shoot growth is malformed with double nodes, short internode length and zigzag pattern growth, leaves are distorted and asymmetric.

A

Fanleaf virus

65
Q

Bunches are smaller with poor fruit set leading to millerandage and up to 80% reduction in crop. Over time vines start failing to fruit especially on susceptible varieties such as Cabernet Sauvignon.

A

Fanleaf virus

66
Q

How is Fanleaf virus spread

A

infected planting material nematode feeding on infected plant root then on healthy ones

67
Q

How to cure Fanleaf virus

A

buying planting material from certified nurseries that serotype and use thermotherapy on their vines. No cure once vineyard infected.

68
Q

This disease is most widespread world wide, can reduce yield by 50%, decrease berry sugar by 30% and delay maturity by four weeks. Wines made are lower in color, alcohol, flavor and body

A

Leafroll virus

69
Q

Symptoms of these disease seen in autumn are red (black grapes) and yellow (white grapes) leaves with downward rolled edges

A

Leafroll virus

70
Q

Name two type of netting for protection against birds

A

over the row netting - cover the whole vine, can limit the amount of sunlight fruit zone netting that clip under and above the fruiting zone

71
Q

Flying insects which damage grape vines in larval stage are called

A

grape moths

72
Q

Pyrale, cochylis, eulia are what

A

most important types of grape moths in Europe, together with European grape Moth.

73
Q

Orange Tatrix is what

A

the main grape moth in California

74
Q

What grape moths do most damage in Australia and New Zealand

A

the grapevine moth and the light brown apple moth

75
Q

What are natural enemies of grape moths

A

spiders, wasps, and shield bug

76
Q

Explosive rockets for hail

A

silver iodide, rainfall rather than hail

77
Q

What can divert thunderstorms from vineyard, preventing hail

A

towers charged with static electricity

78
Q

In biodynamic viticulture what days are best for planting

A

root and fruit days

79
Q

In biodynamic viticulture what days are best for cultivating, applying treatmants

A

fruit days

80
Q

In biodynamic viticulture what is Horn Manure (500)

A

burried over winter, spray vineyard 2-4 times a year, build soil structure and humus

81
Q

In biodynamic viticulture what is Horn Silica (501)

A

burried during summer, sprayed tops of vine and leaves to enhance use of light and heat, improves photosyntesis

82
Q

In biodynamic viticulture what is compost made of

A

from vineyard waste: prunings, grape marc, animal manure (cow)
