Accomplishments
-Proposals were submitted to VCE and VCW, but nor funded due to VC cancellation. The 2007 proposals will be resubmitted in 2008 with updated varieties and cost of establishment.
-New collaborators from the East (New Jersey) and West (Oregon and New Mexico) were added to participate in NE1020
-The viticulture protocol was refined with detailed procedures of vineyard establishment, cultural practices, and data collection.
-Data collection was further divided into: required (1 and 2), optional (1 and 2), and observations that can recorded.
-Varieties that are part of the NE1020 and not free of virus will receive a priority to be cleaned by FPS and other designated centers in the country.
-Most varieties were grafted by Nova Vine nursery and will be made available for planting in 2008.
Impacts
- The long term outcome of this project is to improve the competitiveness of U.S. grape growers and wineries by providing performance information about lesser-known cultivars and clones.
