The NE2220 annual meeting was held on 10 November 2023 - 11 November 2022 in Manhattan, Kansas, hosted by Scott Kohl, Candice Fitch-Deitz, and Nicole Clark of Highland Community College. Participants attended in-person or virtually via Zoom. Participants presented state reports highlighting research, innovations, and industry happenings. Goals of the NE-2220 project were outlined, data acquisition paramaters were determined for vineyard and wine, and a plan for sample submission identified for partner institutions lacking resources for certain lab tests. Due to limited supply and time necessary to produce breeding stock, varietals will be sent by the breeders to states where they believe the varietals will be best suited. Three white and three red cultivars were added to the sentinel varieties list to be used as comparisons for on-going and new research plots. Future meetings; 2023 in Michigan and 2024 in Iowa.

Accomplishments
<p><strong>Objectives </strong></p><br /> <ol><br /> <li>Comprehensive evaluation of grapevine cultivars and clones for viticultural, pest susceptibility and fruit and juice quality characteristics, including enological characteristics and local adaptation for sustainable production.</li><br /> <li>Conduct initial screening evaluations of promising emerging cultivars and advanced breeding lines (pre-commercial) to determine suitability for regional adaptation of viticulture and wine quality attributes.</li><br /> <li>Explore new germplasm resources including disease resistant cultivars being released in Europe, plant introductions including Asian accessions, and less-known cultivars that may have economic potential for the US grape industry.</li><br /> </ol><br /> <p> </p><br /> <ul><br /> <li><strong>Short-term Outcomes:</strong>Quantitative, measurable benefits of the research outputs as experienced by those who receive them. Examples include the adoption of a technology, the creation of jobs, reduced cost to the consumer, less pesticide exposure to farmers, or access to more nutritious food.</li><br /> </ul><br /> <ul><br /> <ul><br /> <li>Since the beginning of NE1020 the percentage of vineyard area in Colorado planted to cold-tolerant cultivars has increased from less than 1% to more than 20% in 2022. Most popular cultivar, Itasca, first trialed as part of this collaborative, from the University of Minnesota breeding program.</li><br /> <li>Grape cultivars trialed during NE1020 and NE1720 have now become the leading cultivars planted in Kansas. Most popular cultivars planted in 2021-2022; Frontenac Gris, Itasca, and Petite Pearl.</li><br /> <li>Based upon the UNVP research on trellis systems, several vineyard owners have opted to transition from vertical shoot position systems to either bilateral high cordon or Geneva Double Curtain trellis systems. This has been implemented for many cultivars, but especially Edelweiss, LaCrescent, Marquette and the Frontenac group of cultivars.</li><br /> </ul><br /> </ul><br /> <p> </p><br /> <ul><br /> <li><strong>Outputs:</strong>Defined products (tangible or intangible) that are delivered by a research project.

The vineyard contains 12 new promising elite germplasm lines and 4 standard cultivars for comparison. This vineyard is replicated in South Dakota and New York as well for gauging potential in different climates throughout the USA.</li><br /> <li>MA – Dr. Petit secured $2,500 in funding from Trustees of the UMass Cold Spring Orchard to expand the NE2220 vineyards with 15 new varieties in Cold Spring Orchard, Belchertown, MA.</li><br /> <li>MN – Submitted grapevine cuttings to 7 states for evaluation. We expect that the vines will be evaluated for a minimum of three years before they produce fruit for the first time. The collaborators will evaluate disease resistance, winter survival and growth habit during the establishment years. Vines were planted at these sites into the vineyards.

A split-plot design with Laser or no laser and netting and no netting was used. The laser diminished number of bird species within the vineyard; however, robins (Turdus migratorius) were undeterred and rapidly stripped unnetted vines. Netting is still the most important bird deterrent available.</li><br /> </ul><br /> </ul><br /> <p> </p><br /> <ul><br /> <li><strong>Milestones:</strong>Key intermediate targets necessary for achieving and/or delivering the outputs of a project, within an agreed timeframe. Milestones are useful for managing complex projects. For example, a milestone for a biotechnology project might be "To reduce our genetic transformation procedures to practice by December 2004."</li><br /> </ul><br /> <ul><br /> <li><strong>Milestones: </strong>A brief of what states have reported.<br /> <ul><br /> <li>CO – Cultivars severely damaged by the Oct 2020 cold events and retrained from the ground in 2021 had excellent recovery, producing full crops in 2022 & 2023.</li><br /> <li>IA – Foliar sprays were on applied on ‘Marquette’ grapevines, in both 2022 and 2023. Prohexadione Calcium (ProCa) was applied at a rate of 50 mg/L every two weeks from one-week post-bloom to one-week post-veraison, while Phenylalanine (Phe) was applied at a rate of 100 mg/L at veraison and one week post-veraison. Both ProCa and Phe were applied in combination, and a control group was sprayed with water. Berries were collected throughout development and ripening for analysis of basic chemistry and phenolic compound content in skins, seeds, juices, and wines. Findings suggested that ProCa and Phe influenced the phenolic content of ‘Marquette’ berry tissues and wines when applied separately but may have a negative interaction when applied together. Additionally, the application rates may not have been high enough to show a significant impact on tannin concentration in the finished wines.</li><br /> <li>NE – Research incorporating ground covers has confirmed that both between-row and under-row ground covers will enhance production, produce balanced vines, reduce erosion and encourage beneficial insects for established grapevine plantings. However, newly planted grapevines cannot compete with established ground covers, thus requiring clean cultivation under the rows until the vines reach third or fourth year growth.MA Collaborating with the Isenberg School of Management, we received a $10,000 grant, to study sustainable viticulture practices in seven vineyards across New England states.</li><br /> <li>MT – Characterized fruit of three new accessions under MT conditions for the second consecutive vintage (ND.054.27, ND.213 and AP.Early).</li><br /> <li>NE – Six years of evaluating ‘Itasca’ has determined that it is a highly qualified cultivar for Nebraska grape growers, especially for dry and off-dry white wine production. Petite Pearl, Marquette, La Crescent and Brianna have also proven to be profitable additions to the grape cultivars suited for Nebraska growers and winemakers. </li><br /> <li>ND – Released ND213 as ‘Dakota Primus’ and ND054.27 as ‘Radiant’</li><br /> <li>SD – A new evaluation trial was established in SD. MN1280, ND054, ND213, Itasca (sentinel cultivar) are replicated in randomized complete block with 1.8 x 3 m spacing. Vines are trained to high cordon and first fruit production will be in 2024. </li><br /> </ul><br /> </li><br /> </ul><br /> <p> </p>Publications

- Based upon the UNVP research on trellis systems, several vineyard owners have opted to transition from vertical shoot position systems to either bilateral high cordon or Geneva Double Curtain trellis systems. This has been implemented for many cultivars, but especially Edelweiss, LaCrescent, Marquette and the Frontenac group of cultivars.
