So what?• Wineries may reject grapes when the VA exceeds their
acceptance limit of acetic acid (0.20 – 0.24 g/L)• High VA indicates the presence of microbial
contaminants that are not wanted in the winery• $$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$• 20% of early varieties rejected at winery• Multiple fungicide sprays applied • Labour costs of several passes to drop rotted fruit
![Page 6: New Initiatives in the Management of Grape Sour Rot · •Treatments: 2 wk, 1 wk, 3 d, 1 d preharvest at 5 kg/1000L (5000 ppm) (2.4 kg KMS/ha) •Each plot consisted of all rot -free](https://reader034.fdocuments.in/reader034/viewer/2022042411/5f2948f44b0a50648d667b7a/html5/thumbnails/6.jpg)
2009 Losses from Sour rot/ Elevated VA
• Crop insurance claims for vineyards– $1.5 M total– $750,000 excess rain– $250,000 hail

Why does it happen?
• Diffuse powdery mildew infections– Slow-growing, sparse, non-sporulating– Usually associated with minute patches of dead
epidermal cells
![Page 21: New Initiatives in the Management of Grape Sour Rot · •Treatments: 2 wk, 1 wk, 3 d, 1 d preharvest at 5 kg/1000L (5000 ppm) (2.4 kg KMS/ha) •Each plot consisted of all rot -free](https://reader034.fdocuments.in/reader034/viewer/2022042411/5f2948f44b0a50648d667b7a/html5/thumbnails/21.jpg)
Mildew-free Diffuse infection
Protect fruit during peak period of susceptibility, andcontinue protection until ontogenic resistance is fullyexpressed 3-4 weeks postbloom.

Why does it happen?• “It is known” clusters infected with bunch rot are more
prone to sour rot• But
– Frequently found sour rot without bunch rot sporulation– Frequently found sour rot in areas of clusters (shoulders)
where no berry squeeze occurred– Very weak correlation between severity of bunch rot and sour
rot in 2008 with >1000 observations in 3 Niagara vineyards
![Page 23: New Initiatives in the Management of Grape Sour Rot · •Treatments: 2 wk, 1 wk, 3 d, 1 d preharvest at 5 kg/1000L (5000 ppm) (2.4 kg KMS/ha) •Each plot consisted of all rot -free](https://reader034.fdocuments.in/reader034/viewer/2022042411/5f2948f44b0a50648d667b7a/html5/thumbnails/23.jpg)
Why does it happen?• Grape Berry Moth
– Bunch rot frequently associated with GBM injury– Probably similar relationship with sour rot organisms
![Page 24: New Initiatives in the Management of Grape Sour Rot · •Treatments: 2 wk, 1 wk, 3 d, 1 d preharvest at 5 kg/1000L (5000 ppm) (2.4 kg KMS/ha) •Each plot consisted of all rot -free](https://reader034.fdocuments.in/reader034/viewer/2022042411/5f2948f44b0a50648d667b7a/html5/thumbnails/24.jpg)
Factors that Promote Sour Rot• Vinegar flies attracted by volatile compounds
released during berry degradation • Vector sour-rot organisms
– passive transport by adults– transmitted throughout cluster during larval stages– larvae carry sour rot organisms in their gut.

What can we do about it?
![Page 26: New Initiatives in the Management of Grape Sour Rot · •Treatments: 2 wk, 1 wk, 3 d, 1 d preharvest at 5 kg/1000L (5000 ppm) (2.4 kg KMS/ha) •Each plot consisted of all rot -free](https://reader034.fdocuments.in/reader034/viewer/2022042411/5f2948f44b0a50648d667b7a/html5/thumbnails/26.jpg)
Sour Rot Management• Reduce injury• Reduce infection by pathogens
![Page 27: New Initiatives in the Management of Grape Sour Rot · •Treatments: 2 wk, 1 wk, 3 d, 1 d preharvest at 5 kg/1000L (5000 ppm) (2.4 kg KMS/ha) •Each plot consisted of all rot -free](https://reader034.fdocuments.in/reader034/viewer/2022042411/5f2948f44b0a50648d667b7a/html5/thumbnails/27.jpg)
Reduce Injury• Loosen grape clusters
– Reduce berry squeeze– Thinner cuticle on berries in contact
![Page 28: New Initiatives in the Management of Grape Sour Rot · •Treatments: 2 wk, 1 wk, 3 d, 1 d preharvest at 5 kg/1000L (5000 ppm) (2.4 kg KMS/ha) •Each plot consisted of all rot -free](https://reader034.fdocuments.in/reader034/viewer/2022042411/5f2948f44b0a50648d667b7a/html5/thumbnails/28.jpg)
Reduce Injury• Loosen grape clusters
– Gibberellic acid (GA)• GA + ammonium chloride at full bloom and 4 days later
resulted in fewer berries/cluster & reduced splitting• Reduced fruitfulness following yr (esp Riesling)
– Other compounds affecting cluster development• Product “X” @ 180 g a.i./ha applied at full bloom

of sour rot – Change berry skin and wax characteristics– Change cluster compactness

Sour Rot Management• Potassium Metabisulphite?
– Used as anti-oxidant and anti-microbial (vs microbes) in vinification (40-60 g/tonne)
– Rengasamy & Poole (NZ):• 5 kg per 1000 L water • Botrytis-infected berries dry out
– Wicks (Australia):• 3-4 g/L KMS killed Botrytis spores & inhibited growth of
germ tubes• If 4 g/L applied w/i 48 hr of infection, inhibits sporulation
from infected berries• Little effect on sporulation after that
