Accomplishments
-The proposed climatic classification system was re-defined during the 2006 annual meeting in Raleigh, N.C.
-Trial locations were classified according to this altered classification system.
-Parameters for trial establishment were further defined (trellis, spacing, rootstocks)
-Planting plans and variety selection for 24 trial locations were coordinated and finalised
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.
