New app for healthy grape vines

21 NOVEMBER 2014

A tool to help grape growers plant healthier vines, developed by Charles Sturt University (CSU) PhD student Ms Helen Waite, has been released as a free mobile phone App. The Fit Vine risk assessment tool aims to reduce trunk disease transmission in grape vine rootlings. Ms Waite said "Un-healthy vines are less productive and produce poorer quality fruit so it's important growers have as much information as possible about the vines they're planting." The Fit Vine App is available for free on iTunes here.  Read more about Ms Waite's research through the National Wine and Grape Industry Centre at CSU in Wagga Wagga on CSU News here.
