Pierce's Disease Research Symposium

Every year, leading researchers, winegrape growers and other wine industry professionals gather to share and discuss recent advances and discoveries for Pierce's disease, the glassy-winged sharpshooter, and other designated pests and diseases of winegrapes. The two-day program includes research talks, grower presentations, and roundtable discussions.

The next Pierce's Disease Research Symposium will be held in December 2023. Please check back for more information.

Pierce's Disease Research Symposium Proceedings

A collection of year-end progress reports, known as the “Proceedings,” is prepared each year and distributed at the PD Research Symposium. A similar document is prepared in years when a Symposium is not held. These documents are available below.
