Blue skies and lanternflies #spottedlanternfly

These grape leaves are wet with #honeydew as a result from #spottedlanternfly feeding on the shoots above. Within a few days, sooty mold will colonize these leaves, and potentially the fruit too!

Our experiment on the effects of spotted lanternfly population density on grapevine physiology and health has officially begun! With Heather Leach,Julie Urban and Drew Harner

Looking forward to working with my Cornell AgriTech colleague Yu Jiang | 姜宇 and @Michela_psu to develop this cool tool #viticulture news.cornell.edu/stories/2020/0…

12 Pennsylvania counties added to #SpottedLanternfly quarantine bit.ly/2PMtAtI

Suzanne collecting roots and soil samples to assess if grass presence and rootstock genotype influence rhizosphere bacterial communities at shallow and deep depths, beyond grass roots.

Drew and Lauren presented their interesting work on spotted lanternfly at the Spotted Lanternfly Virtual Symposium. Presentations will be posted on the SCRI SLF project website, StopSLF.org

Assessing and Managing Vine Nutrient Status in Mature Vineyards #webinar June 10 (3 to 4 p.m.). Tony Wolf, Professor of Viticulture at #VirginiaTech, will present. The event is free, but registration is required: bit.ly/2XBfr5G #Grape #Wine #Viticulture

New paper out on the impact of tree species with varied root traits on soil properties and rhizoplane bacterial composition. Great collaboration with the labs of Terrence Bell and Dave Eissenstat. link.springer.com/article/10.100…

Our new paper on the effects of under-vine fescue on grapevine root production and soil carbon is out: authors.elsevier.com/a/1ceKlcA-IgIhT

Great collaboration with Justine Vanden Heuvel! Review on under-vine vegetation and how it can help mitigate the effects of excessive precipitation.

The Center for Root and Rhizosphere Biology at Penn State is recruiting a cohort of 5 PhD students. If you are interested in working with Sharifa Crandall and myself to understand how root stress can shape grapevine physiology and the microbiome..contact us!

Congratulations Laura Kaminsky and @SuzanneFleishman for their Distinguished Doctoral Scholar Medals. One Health Microbiome Center congratulates you in your excellent research! PSUAgScienceResearch Huck Institutes Penn State Research psuPPEM

We launched our interactive Spotted Lanternfly tracking survey for 2023! This will allow growers to track #SLF distribution and density throughout the season. Find the survey and a link to the map here: extension.psu.edu/2023-spotted-l…. This is for all growers in the SLF region -please RT

Current and former grad students from the Viticulture lab at Penn State presented at the #GIESCO2023 . Great job Meredith, Suzanne and Drew and great conference!

Congratulations Meredith for receiving the ASEV Presidents’ Award for Scholarship in Viticulture. Well-deserved 👏!

Updated #SLF Tracking! Density lower than expected but hot spots remain in the region, some are on: “full alert and patrolling/killing on a daily basis.” extension.psu.edu/2023-spotted-l…
