Modern viticulture is depending strongly upon pesticides.
Vineyards in Europe on • 3.3% of total agricultural land but to preserve the grapes it is applied 65% of all fungicides used in agriculture, farmers damage for - man consumers - environment - economy of the crop

Most cultivated grape varieties are > 200 years old • Minimum contribution from breeding • Limited variability, also reduced by clonal selection • Plants and their pathogens co-evolute in a continous struggle for life • one species not able of reproduction is destined to succumb • Man can help that species to survive but such a choice has a cost ...........
A brief hystory • from North America • Phylloxera 1878 • Powdery mildew 1845 • Downy mildew 1868
Phylloxera grafting onto resistant rootstocks • breeding for resistant rootstock • PM, DM breeding for • resistant cultivars, • hybrids such as • Isabella, Noah, • Clinton, Baco…
but… • Resistancewas achieved • Quality was not satisfactory • About 1960 Europe decided to ban hybrids • except… • eventual new selections “comparable” • to vinifera
Sources of resistance to diseases • 30 American species (V. riparia, V. rupestris, Muscadinia ) • 30 Asian species (V. amurensis, …) • monogenic (non-host, HR) • poligenic

The workplan • 800+ accessions introduced into the repository • 270 + cross combinations • 16.000+ seedlings under evaluation • Selection for - resistance • - agronomical features • - quality of musts
advanced evaluation • nano-vinification of > 200 selections at UIV (VR) • wine testing for up to three years • advanced evaluation for 15 selections at VCR in Fossalon [2010]

Future development of the breeding program to combine together more than one resistence • combining resistences to different pathogens • combining more resistences to the same pathogen • 2 sources of resistance to downy and 2 to powdery mildew • to differentiate the product • sparkling base • long-lasting wines • dessert wines • table grape • ...

The impact of traditional viticulture needs to be considered • A more healthy viticulture with lower production cost can be done, • without forgetting tradition
The value of our products • is the territory, • with our tradition • and skills • A resistant cultivar • can help future viticulture • to be more sustainable
