Modeling the spread of Pierce's disease of grapevines
Jan. 30, 2023
Wine production is being
decimated in some places by Pierce's disease, caused by the
bacterium Xylella fastidiosa.
Researchers propose a model
that takes into account the effect of ambient temperature to see how
climate change will affect its spread ...
