No rest for the wicked...self-isolating in the lab 😋🧬🧫 #dutycalls #everydayisscienceday #CONNECTEDforever
Devastatingly beautiful but definitely devastating. Grapevine leafroll disease, which causes yield losses and the uneven ripening of grapes, can be seen in the red and orange hues currently decking our vineyards. Good news though - it can be controlled👍 wineland.co.za/grapevine-lea…
There's a new kit on the block: we present the amazing PathSol Grapevine Leafroll Type 3 (GLRaV-3) TAS ELISA detection kit. Both rapid and standard TAS kits available, with colour-coded reagents for ease of use. Available locally (South Africa) as well as internationally😊🌿
Intert-vined *Russian accent*. Unfortunately also Leafroll diseased, and soon to be rogued 🍁😕 sometimes you have to lose the battle to win the war. Sorry little plant. #glrav #leafroll #FightCOVID19...and other pathogenic viruses (sorry, had to)
The old man in the September issue of @WineLandSA. Seems the grape doesn't fall far from the vine 😉🍇
