National Rootstock Forum

2nd National Rootstock Forum 2008

The 2nd National Rootstock Forum was held on 21-22 May 2008 in Irymple, Victoria to advance fundamental knowledge on the performance of rootstocks. It was hosted by the PGIBSA and jointly funded by the Board and the Grape and Wine Research and Development Corporation.

It was attended by researchers and practitioners to consider the latest research and to share information on rootstock breeding, selection, management and performance.

One of the key outcomes of the forum was to set national priorities for future research and cooperation.
