Dear Grower,
We would like to report the status of red blotch and leafroll 3 viruses in California vineyards. The graph on the right shows the percentage of positive samples in all samples tested at Agri-Analysis for past three consecutive growing seasons. This set data represents results from a large number of grapevines from various sources including existing vineyards and new planting materials. We can see that during the past three planting seasons, the infection rate of red blotch virus varied between about 15% to 25% while the infection rate of leafroll 3 virus hoovers around 10%. These results are significant due to the large numbers of samples tested. We continue to encourage growers to be vigorous to test new planting materials so as to prevent any infected vines from being planted in new vineyards.
Please contact us for further details at info@agri-analysis.com or (800)506-9852.
Thank you!
Sincerely,
| Dr. Alan Wei |

Innovative Reagent Detects Broader LR3 Variants
Agri-Analysis has developed a new reagent that can detect broader leafroll 3 variants than the current commercial reagent (BIOREBA). The new reagent is being used by state certification programs, universities in several countries including Australia, New Zealand, France, Israel in their testing and monitoring of GLRaV-3 in vineyards and nursery stocks. To read more detail, please visit Wine Industry Network or download a copy of our news release.
