Finding
Solutions
Through
Research
Drs. Walker and Cousins continue to develop
rootstocks resistant to phylloxera and nematodes
while displaying tolerance to abiotic stressors like
drought and salts, with new selections from the
Walker program now available to growers.
Dr. Qian and others are studying the impact of
closures with dierent oxygen transmission rates
on aroma development with a focus on volatile
sulfur compounds during post bottling aging.
This work should help the industry make
informed closure selections.
