Vineyards face several biotic threats that compromise the grape quality and quantity. Among those cause relevant economic impact have worldwide distribution are oomycete Plasmopara vitícola, fungi Erysiphe necator Botrytis cinerea, arthropods Lobesia botrana, Tetranychus urticae, Phylaenus spumarius (principal vector of bacterial disease Xylella fastidiosa in Europe). Their management relies pr...

The effects of the climatic changes more and more frequently, favour the emergence and the development of plant diseases. Botrytis cinerea and Oidium spp. spores are often responsible for enormous productivity losses in cultures with high commercial interests such as the grapevine. This work aims to detect these airborne spores, before the emergence of lesions in Vitis vinifera. In the rural ar...
