The research project, funded by the New Hampshire Agricultural Experiment Station, is intended to benefit regional growers interested in growing table grapes for local markets. Researchers are evaluating the varieties Canadice, Concord Seedless, Lakemont, Marquis, Mars, Reliance, Thomcord, and Vanessa.
All are bearing fruit, but Thomcord, Lakemont, and Marquis have experienced more winter mortality. Canadice and Concord Seedless remained relatively symptom-free when exposed to common grape diseases, such as anthracnose, downy mildew, and powdery mildew.
