Databases

Pierce's Research and Impact Database

The goal of this database is a better understanding of research progress made, and anticipated timelines toward, achieving sustainable solutions and prevention strategies that address Pierce's Disease and associated insect vector infestations in commercial vineyards. The project is funded by the CDFA PD/GWSS Research Program and supported by California grape and wine industry stakeholders. The database can be accessed at http://piercesdisease.org
