Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Grapevine (Vitis vinifera L.) is a major global crop, having been cultivated since ancient times, and its susceptibility to many different pests and diseases is well known. There are a diverse number of potential disease-producing agents, including viruses, fungi, nematodes, bacteria, and phytoplasmas.
Reducing the damage caused by these biotic agents is a priority to maintain the productivity and profitability of this crop. Traditionally, integrated control methods (IPMs) have been used, combining the effects of chemical treatments, cultural management techniques, tolerant cultivars, and biological control. Although much research has been conducted on grapevine diseases in the past, the arrival of new knowledge, new methods, and new techniques (higher-resolution molecular techniques, massive genome sequencing, image analysis, sensors, risk assessment models, etc.) opens the door to innovative control strategies.
Research articles, review articles, and short communications are invited. The aim of this Special Issue is to share new knowledge and scientific-based methods focused on any aspect related to the understanding and optimization of grapevine disease control.
