This time of year when folks are getting active in their yards and farms, specifically, when using/applying herbicides at the same time grapevines are beginning to grow out of dormancy… it is a good idea to review an excellent publication that shows what herbicide damage on grapevines looks like. The excellent publication I have in mind is from Oregon State University:
Are Your Weed-control Products Damaging Nearby Vineyards? (EM9132) https://catalog.extension.oregonstate.edu/em9132/html
It reviews most of the common herbicides we use and that could damage grapevines.

Another herbicide related publication of interest
is: Preventing Herbicide Drift and
Injury to Grapes (EM 8860). This
publication contains many photographs of herbicide damage on grape leaves. https://catalog.extension.oregonstate.edu/files/project/pdf/em8860.pdf
For
those of you that have been curious about grapevine propagation, I offer my
latest photos below:
Figure 1: Grapevine cuttings with leaves and thermometer visible
(left). Close-up of cutting with callus and nascent roots present, the cuttings
were stuck the second week of March and this photo was taken April 12th. The propagation box is outside to take advantage
of ambient cool temperatures and is equipped with a heating element that keeps
the base of the cuttings relatively warm.
