SPRING GRAPEVINE FANLEAF VIRUS TESTING IN SEASON!
Fanleaf Virus Testing in Season!
Spring is the best time to test for grapevine fanleaf virus and its close "cousins" - tomato ring spot virus (grapevine yellow vein disease) and arabis mosaic virus as their concentrations reach the maximum level in plant tissues during spring. Agri-Analysis uses the enzyme-linked immunoasorbent assay (ELISA) which is one of the most sensitive detection techniques for virus detection. Our Standard Vineguard Panel of assyas detects the most significant and most commonly encountered viral and bacterial pathogens affecting grapevine production as listed below.

VINEYARD VIRUS SURVEY PAYS! Grapevine viruses are field-transmitted by pests from infected vines to healthy vines such as glassy-winged sharpshooters, nematodes, mealy bugs. Due to the wide presence of these pests in California vineyards, certified nursery stocks may not guarantee virus-free vineyards. Therefore, it is crucial for growers and management companies to regularly and consistently screen and survey their vineyards for the presence of common grapevine viruses to determine the extent of their spread and the health status of their vines. Agri-Analysis is proud to offer the "Vineyard Virus Survey Pays" program. Our scientists would work with your viticulturists and management team to develop a survey plan that inludes site selection, sampling density, time interval, data analysis, reporting method, information management, and survey costs. Our Extensive Vineguard Panel includes all pathogens listed below. Please call us today for more information of our Vineyard Virus Survey Program.
