Finding
Solutions
Through
Research
Drs. Zalom, Mills and others have completed
comprehensive pesticide trials on spider mites and mite
predators. Their work has provided viticulturists with
insight and direction concerning the consequences
of applying various spray materials on general
and regional mite populations.
Dr. Linda Bisson and others have helped vintners under-
stand the yeast dynamics in high sugar musts and how
to deal with "stuck" fermentations. Dr. Bisson's work has
led to the development and commercialization of
specialized wine yeast and her lab is currently
working on yeast that produce less ethanol.
