New York State

Revitalized Grapevine Certification Program

is active!

The New York Grape Nurseries, New York State Department of Agriculture and Markets and Cornell University have worked together to create a new and improved grapevine certification program that is considered by experts to be the best in the world. The program is based on starting with “clean” material sourced from the Foundation blocks at the Clean Plant Centers in the USA. The nursery expansion blocks are then monitored with annual laboratory testing of 25% of each expansion block at Cornell University’s plant virus lab. The sampling is done by NYS Horticulture inspectors to be sure that the sampling is done correctly and without bias. The vines are tested for: grapevine fanleaf virus, tomato and tobacco ringspot viruses, grapevine leafroll associated viruses and grapevine red blotch virus. 25% of each expansion block is tested every year , meaning 100% of the vines are tested every 4 years.

Many certification programs, like that of California, are based on the principle of starting “clean” and visually monitoring to see if the nursery expansion blocks remain clean.  As a result, there are sadly a high percentage of certified vines being distributed which are not free of the viruses deemed problematic.
