Phenology continues

Grapevine phenology continues at the Fabian Garcia, ASC, Las Cruces,NM
The most widely accepted and used descriptions of growth stages were developed by Eichhorn and Lorenz and fully described and articulated by Australian researcher, B. G. Coombe in 1995, cited below.  Graduate student, Jacque Cormier is tracking phenology of her Malbec vines exposed to different cover crops as part of her field research project.
