Grapes

New York state is ranked fourth in the nation for grape production and Cornell AgriTech has an important connection to the success of this industry. We cover the spectrum of grower needs in the areas of grape breeding, best horticultural practices and disease and pest management. In the past 100 years, Cornell AgriTech has released 59 juice, table and wine grape varieties adapted to cool climates. Our experts are at the forefront of evolving disease and pest conditions in New York state and perform innovative research to help growers overcome challenges in order to produce the healthiest grapes possible.
