Disease Resistant Varieties & Climate Change
For the third and last installment of our three-part 2023 webinar series on climate change, we focused on disease resistant varieties. This webinar addresses popular disease resistant varieties in Canada, how climate change relates to varietal use/selection, and upcoming research initiatives and experimental fungus and disease resistant grapevine varieties. Our esteemed speakers, Darcy O'Neil and Alexander Morandell from PIWI International, Andréanne Hébert-Haché from the Centre de recherche agroalimentaire de Mirabel (CRAM), and Helen Fisher from the University of Guelph, provided presentations followed by a thought provoking Q&A session.
