Event Date
On March 16, 2022, the UC Davis Department of Viticulture and Enology Extension Team will host a Grapevine Red Blotch Disease Symposium. This event will be presented both in person at the UC Davis Conference Center and livestreamed for those unable to attend in person. The program will cover topics that relate to Red Blotch disease in grapevines. Presentations will include: the role of treehoppers, treatments, mitigation strategies, the impact of the disease on the composition of wine, and more.
LOCATION
This is a hybrid event. Attendees have the option of attending in-person at the Conference Center on the UC Davis Campus, or by live stream.
