Grapevine trunk diseases are a threat to the economic sustainability of the New Zealand wine industry. They cause significant yield and quality reductions and also shorten the lifespan of vineyards.

As part of the ongoing project developing best practice guidance for managing trunk disease using remedial surgery, BRI has created a video to demonstrate how to remediate a grapevine.
