Sažetak
Grapevine trunk diseases (GTD) involve a large number of xylem-inhabiting fungal species mostly associated to botryosphaeria dieback, esca and eutypa dieback. Management of GTD is based on preventive control measures in order to minimize new infections and measures that reduce the existing fungal inoculum (vine removal, etc.). Flavescence dorée (FD) is a quarantine grapevine disease caused by a phytoplasma ‘Candidatus Phytoplasma vitis’ and spread by a Vitis specific vector, leafhopper Scaphoideus titanus Ball (Cicadellidae). Despite mandatory control measures FD is still a threat to the sustainability of European viticulture. Management of FD predominantly relies on the use of insecticides (vector control) and removal of infected vines and secondary hosts. Consequently, development of integrated approach in disease control is required. Both GTD and FD cause significant economic losses in European vineyards, referring to the necessity of finding alternative strategies to restrain their spread and negative impact on grape production. Project WINETWORK is developing the innovation-driven methodology based on multi-actor approach, which promotes the exchange of knowledge between science and practice in order to increase the productivity and sustainability of the sector and identify needs from the field and innovative solutions for future research agenda. This network is implemented in ten winegrowing regions, within seven European countries. The methodology is built on a network of winegrowers and regional experts gathered in ten regional Technical Working Groups, Scientific Working Groups (one for each disease), and regional Facilitator Agents that stimulate their interaction. Bottom-up approach applied in WINETWORK includes surveys, conducted and synthesised by Facilitator Agents, to identify winegrower’s innovative practices, while scientists revise scientific data and adapt it to dissemination and practical use. Dissemination is adapted to different stakeholders and includes a summary of relevant practical and scientific knowledge available through knowledge reservoir, newsletters, seminars, workshops, video lectures, technical presentations, etc. This project has received funding from the European Union’s Horizon 2020 research and innovation programme under grant agreement No°652601.
