Why Worry About Nematodes? Serious replant consideration Loss of nematicides and fumigants Evolution of aggressive nematode strains Specific resistance in current rootstocks Unable to rotate vineyards - although can and should rotate rootstock use Spread on root systems and equipment http://plpnemweb.ucdavis.edu/nemaplex
Nematode effects on grapes Abnormal cell growth that results in characteristic swellings - galls. Disruption of the vascular tissue altering the translocation of water and nutrients to the shoots - desiccation, K and other deficiencies. Cracked galls and roots leads to root decay and loss. Vectoring of viruses - grapevine fanleaf virus (GFLV).
Meloidogyne spp. (arenaria, incognita, javanica, chitwoodi, and??) root-knot nematodes
Tylenchulus semipenetrans citrus nematode
(sensu lato) Xiphinema americanum dagger nematode
Criconemoides xenoplax ring nematode - +
Pratylenchus vulnus root lesion nematode
Xiphinema index dagger nematode
Fanleaf Degeneration Disease complex caused by GFLV and vectored by the dagger nematode, Xiphinema index One rootstock alternative exists - O39-16 - rotundifolia is the key Phylloxera, root-knot nematode and excessive vigor concerns. 89 Series and others in testing, but
Nematode/Grape Interactions Nematodes are spread with agriculture - soil movement, distribution of plant materials. Native vegetation sites are unlikely to harbor grape damaging nematodes. Sites previously in agriculture are more likely to harbor grape damaging nematodes. Fallow from annual agriculture can be short (roots die quickly) long term fallow needed when following trees or vines (very long lived roots). Nematodes encyst and likely to persist longer than expected.

Nematode/Grape Interactions Root-knot, lesion, and citrus nematodes are primarily found in coarse textured soils, but lots of exceptions. Association with agriculture is key factor. Ring and X. americanum on many soils. Xiphinema index was distributed to, and does well in, many soils. Fanleaf seems less severe in hot climates.

Rootstock Origin First developed to address grape phylloxera in the late 1800s The French came to the US to collect species resistant to phylloxera Took back cuttings of many, but only V. riparia and V. rupestris rooted well from dormant cuttings Later added V. berlandieri for lime tolerance
How to Choose a Rootstock Hard to make the perfect choice / Avoid making a bad choice Want an inverse relationship between soil (water holding capacity/depth/fertility) and rootstock vigor. Production factors include: climate and affect on fruit quality; marketing fruit or wine; tons per acre required
Other Rootstock Issues Replant vs. new site (grapes following grapes) Virus induced incompatibility Important/critical to use certified stock and scion Desired clones are may not be certified Availability
V. riparia Missouri River
V. rupestris Jack Fork River, MO
V. berlandieri Fredericksburg, TX
V. riparia x V. rupestris Useful on fertile, non-calcareous soils Root system spaced evenly in the soil profile Nematode resistance varies Easy to root and graft, mothervines vary some with short canes and abundant laterals, others with long canes and few laterals
101-14Mgt Good phylloxera resistance, good nematode resistance (root-knot and dagger) Moderate vigor, lime sensitive and not drought tolerant not adapted to deficit irrigation practices Useful on wet soils, but not on heavy cracking clays Very widely used in California - a good generalist rootstock Very easy to root and graft Mothervine with long canes and few laterals
Schwarzmann Good phylloxera and nematode resistance Moderate vigor, roots and grafts well, mothervine has long canes and few laterals Not widely used in California and much like 101-14Mgt in appearance - with a more puckered leaf surface Might have better nodosity resistance than 101-14
1616C V. solonis x V. riparia Very good nematode resistance Low vigor - nematodes and high vigor soils Good phylloxera resistance Easy to root and propagate and good mothervine growth - long canes and few laterals Judged too weak in the past; recent experience - lower pruning weights, but relatively high fruitfulness
V. berlandieri x V. riparia Selected for phylloxera resistance, lime tolerance and moderate vigor Generally shallow to moderate rooting depth Most derived from the Teleki hybrids - a Hungarian breeder (1880s) Many have moderate to good nematode resistance Excellent mothervines with long canes, few internodes Graft and root moderately well - 420A Mgt difficult
Teleki 5C / SO4 Moderate vigor Moderate nematode resistance 5C does not respond well to deficit irrigation, less experience with SO4 Graft unions show scion overgrowth Very similar in appearance and growth habit Almost all of UCD source SO4 was 5C before 1992 Use declining in California
Kober 5BB Relatively high vigor and deepest roots in this group Better nematode resistance - root-knot and dagger No fanleaf degeneration tolerance Graft over growth may be as pronounced as 5C Very intolerant of viruses that cause graft failure Very similar in appearance to 5C, but female, leaf edges turn up and red T
Börner V. cinerea x V. riparia produced by Börner and Becker Very good nematode and phylloxera resistance; fanleaf testing underway Relatively hard to root and graft Field performance has been inconsistent - on some sites growth is very weak and on others very strong
V. berlandieri x V. rupestris This group was developed for drought and lime tolerance in warmer, drier parts of Europe Have deeper root systems to avoid drought Limited nematode resistance, good phylloxera resistance Most are shrubby mothervines and produce short canes and many laterals Some are more difficult to root and graft
1103P Relatively high vigor; >110R and <140Ru Moderate nematode resistance, good salt tolerance Widely used in California because it roots and grafts well, and produces more graftable canes Adaptable, but better on low vigor sites or large canopy trellis and spacing systems
V. champinii - Based Rootstocks A natural hybrid of V. candicans x V. rupestris champinioid Very vigorous Drought tolerant due to deep root system Broad nematode resistance; do not tolerate fanleaf degeneration Often more difficult to propagate
Ramsey (Salt Creek) Selected by T.V. Munson. Salt Creek is V. doaniana. Very good nematode, moderate phylloxera resistance, induces very high vigor in scions Good for sandy low vigor soils; rotate to other nematode resistant rootstocks Good salt tolerance, widely used in droughty, saline, shallow soils in Australia Dog Ridge is more vigorous (V. candicans x V. berlandieri?)
Freedom & Harmony Freedom has greater vigor and easily propagated, high K uptake Not phylloxera resistant - have vinifera in their parentage; aggressive root-knot nematode strains exist Good for sandy low vigor soils; rotate to other nematode resistant rootstocks Freedom is very intolerant of viruses that induce graft failure
VR O39-16 & O43-43 V. vinifera x M. rotundifolia siblings Only sources of tolerance to fanleaf degeneration O43-43 susceptible to phylloxera, O39-16 susceptible to root-knot nematodes May act as natural nematicides High vigor, respond well to deficit irrigation and cover crops; poor growth on limestone soils Hard to propagate
