Phylloxera Solutions (Phylloxera Vastatrix)
Phylloxera Vastatrix is a tiny insect pest that attacks grapevines, causing significant damage and vineyard loss worldwide. It feeds on the roots and leaves of the vine, weakening the plant and often leading to its death. To combat this, farmers typically graft European grapevines onto resistant American rootstocks, which the pest does not harm. Other solutions include chemical treatments, biological controls, and strict vineyard management practices to prevent infestation. These measures help protect vineyards, sustain grape production, and ensure high-quality wine production.
