Proud to see our PhD student Catarina Leal getting both awards to the best poster and oral presentation at the 12th International Workshop on Grapevine Trunk Diseases 🔝 Congratulations!! 🎉 🍾 🍄

IWGTD Day 4: 1) novel biocontrol methods against GTD by Marcelo Bustamante & Plant doctor; 2) best students oral and poster presenters; 3) gala dinner at the historic Mikulov Castle where the Renaissance wine barrel dating from 1643 & one of the largest 26,800 gal in Europe is on display.

In our last paper published by Catarina Leal et al. in #PMS we performed nursery trials to assess the biocontrol effect of Trich atroviride SC1 and Bacillus subtilis PTA271 against Bot dieback and blackfoot fungi during the #grapevine propagation process onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/abs/10.100…

Thankful to able to present my current work at the XVI Meeting of the IOBC-WPRS in Wageningen, The Netherlands

Our review by Catarina Leal et al. is out in Phytopathology® Exploring some factors conditioning the expression of Botryosphaeria dieback in grapevine for an integrated management of the disease | Phytopathology® apsjournals.apsnet.org/doi/10.1094/PH…

Everything is ready for tomorrow's IOBC-WPRS meeting on Integrated Protection in Viticulture 3-5 October, Logroño 🇪🇸 #iobc #viticulture

Second day of the IOBC-WPRS conference ‘Integrated Protection in #Viticulture ‘. Today, we started with a session dedicated to the study of #blackrot, #Botrytis, and #sourrot #iobc 🍄 🦠 🐞 Logroño 🇪🇸

Our review by Catarina Leal is out in Phytopathology® It delves into factors influencing Botryosphaeria dieback (BD) in grapevines, covering pathogen lifestyle, Neofusicoccum parvum's pathogenicity, cultivar traits, and the vine microbiome's role. #GrapevineHealth #BDResearch

Our preprint is out! We explored water availability's effect on grapevine health & #esca pathogen P. chlamydospora. Findings: #WaterStress significantly changes the xylem fungal community, decreasing diversity & favoring the pathogen 🍇💧🍄 Catarina Leal biorxiv.org/content/10.110…

NEW RELEASE! 📚🍇🍄 Our chapter on advanced #grapevine protection strategies reduces #pesticide use and explores #sustainable alternatives for managing fungal and oomycete diseases in nurseries and vineyards. Access our publication here: authors.elsevier.com/a/1ix4rErDqaK09 Catarina Leal
