The new vines aren\u2019t yet ready for prime time, but they do show that the agricultural community\u2019s steadfast pursuit of research is bearing fruit. More about ongoing research and other facets of CDFA\u2019s Pierce\u2019s Disease Control Program is available online at <a href=\"http:\/\/www.cdfa.ca.gov\/pdcp\/\">http:\/\/www.cdfa.ca.gov\/pdcp\/<\/a><\/p>\n<p>Several years ago, it seemed as though the Unified Symposium was dominated by sessions and keynote addresses about Pierce\u2019s disease and the glassy-winged sharpshooter.\u00a0 That is no longer the case, and that in itself is further evidence that growers are confident in the continued progress of researchers toward a solution to this pest-disease complex. While we are proud of the work that these researchers have done, I want to caution growers and vintners alike against complacency; Pierce\u2019s disease remains a threat, and it deserves our continued vigilance, both in the fields and in the research labs.<\/p>\n<p>I encourage symposium-goers to enjoy this year\u2019s installment \u2013 and to remember just how far we have come together.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>A drive past a vineyard at this time of year, with the grape vines bare and dormant, might make the casual observer think all is quiet
