Project code: 61 40-00001/2016-003
Contract period: 01.09.2016 - 31.08.2019
Purpose of research: Applied research
Keywords: viticulture, viruses, vector, scale insects, risk assessment

The project aims to check the role of scale insects (Homoptera: Coccina) in German vineyards as potential vectors of leafroll viruses. Leafroll disease might be an upcoming problem in this region. The investigations should built a base for a renewed risk assessment and if necessary for newly integrated control strategies towards the vector.
