Project title: The practical impact of sexual reproduction of grapevine powdery mildew on reduced fungicide sensitivity
Project number: NP10-2022
Project leader: Havenga, M
This project will develop new knowledge regarding the primary inoculum, dominant reproductive strategy and basic biology of the powdery mildew fungus.

Automated visual assessment of grapevine leafroll symptoms using artificial intelligence

Project number: SU-PP LM 23-01
Project leader: Mostert, L
This study would aim to develop a system whereby photos taken with a smartphone could be used for the recognition of GLRaV-3 infected red and white wine cultivars.

Speed breeding via the creation of short life cycle microvine plants

Project number: GenUS JL 23-02
Project leaders: Burger, J and Lashbrooke, J
Incorporating Microvine will allow the ongoing breeding program to dramatically reduce timelines while building on the knowledge generated in previously funded Winetech projects.
