Management of Grapevine Leafroll Disease and Associated Vectors in Vineyards

  • Chapter
  • First Online:
Grapevine Viruses: Molecular Biology, Diagnostics and Management

Abstract

In this chapter, we discuss methods to manage the spread of grapevine leafroll disease in the vineyard itself. We briefly describe the viruses and vectors involved and present epidemiological properties of the virus-vector relationship that are relevant to the management of the disease. We review natural spread of the disease, the rate of spread, and the spatiotemporal disease patterns commonly observed. We provide theoretical and proven vector dispersal and virus transmission mechanisms to explain these spatiotemporal patterns. We provide methods and protocols to prevent primary spread of the virus by infected planting material or from other infected vineyards (proximal, at some distance, adjoining, and preceding) and also how to prevent secondary spread of the disease by roguing. We discuss the critical aspect of vector control to achieve this. A few examples of successful leafroll management are provided. Deficiencies in our knowledge and potential future studies are mentioned throughout the chapter.
