Institut für Rebenzüchtung
The development of new grapevine varieties with a complete or most extensive resistance to the viticulturally important fungus diseases (Plasmopara, oidium, botrytis) reduces considerably the plant protection measures and contributes thus to an ecologically beneficial viticulture. To improve breeding efficiency, the elaborated new methods and procedures are incorporated. Newly developed promising grapevine varieties are officially tested in cooperation with the Federal Variety Office (plant protection, variety list) and the practical viticulture for their suitability.
