Impatiens necrotic spot virus (INSV) is a serious disease of lettuce in Monterey County. It is a tospovirus that is spread by an insect vector, the western flower thrips (Frankliniella occidentalis). INSV also infects a wide range of other host plants and is spread when thrips acquire the virus from infected host plants and migrate into uninfected lettuce fields. Lettuce is a key host for INSV during the lettuce production season, but during the winter when there are no lettuce fields, the virus survives in weedy host plants in a variety of habitats: roadsides, ditches, waste areas around equipment yards, and natural areas. Vineyards can also be habitat for INSV due to the presence of infected weed hosts. This article will discuss the specific role of vineyards in providing habitat for INSV host plants.

Webinar: Grapevine Red Blotch Disease: What You Need to Know Friday, February 26, 2016. Summary: Grapevine red blotch disease and the virus associated with it has been confirmed in many major grape production regions of the United States and Canada. Since the identification of the virus in 2011, several teams of researchers from across North America have been intensely characterizing the disease and effects on grapevines, as well as characterizing the virus, its spread, and potential management. Considerable progress has been made, but much remains unknown. Speakers representing many of these labs will be presenting their work and what it means for the grape industry.

Meeting Agenda for the Central Coast Wine Grape Seminar to be held on Tuesday, March 8th, 2016 and agenda for the Current Wine and Wine Grape Research meeting to be held on February 9, 2016.
