Description: Advancements in Grapevine Nutrition

This session brings together four members of the USDA/SCRI Hi-Res Vineyard Nutrition Project to share concise research updates and practical deliverables that support balanced grapevine nutrition in commercial vineyards. Presenters will address practitioner perspectives on nutrient needs across regions, best timing and tissues for macro- and micronutrient sampling, new outcomes from fertilization studies, and the use of spatial technologies to guide variable rate applications. The program will conclude with an open discussion and question-and-answer period to encourage applied learning and grower‐focused dialogue.

The Eastern Viticulture and Enology Forum (EVEF) Webinar Series is a collaborative initiative of the Penn State Extension Grape and Wine Team and partnering viticulture and enology extension programs from U.S. land-grant institutions. You will have the opportunity to submit questions prior to the webinar using the link contained in your registration confirmation email.

Follow up from 2/20 VTFGA / UVM Fruit meeting

Thanks, everyone, who made it out to the 130th annual VTFGA / UVM Fruit Meeting yesterday in Middlebury, VT. We just avoided the snow until the end, and I’m sure at least a few including myself had dicey drives home. We appreciate the effort and participation. For those who attended on Zoom, I’m glad we could make that happen and hope the quality was at least passable. I am headed out of town for the week and just dumped all the gear in my office, but when I get back I hope to check the video and see if we have anything salvageable to put up on out YouTube channel. No promises there, as were weren’t producing with intent to make a good recording.

The slides from all talks are posted here:  20260220_VTFGA_UVM_Fruit_mtg

Please let me know if I promised any follow ups to questions or conversations we had.

Thanks again,

Terry
