Item 'Abundance' GrapeReisch, B.I.; Luce, R.S.; Henick-Kling, T.; Pool, R.M. (2003)This version of New York's Food and Life Sciences Bulletin Number 157 was never published since the grape variety was renamed. This variety was also called GR7, Rubiana and Geneva Red. This unpublished version is posted here for historical interest only. Please see the Bulletin Number 157 "Geneva Red" for an official description.Item 'Geneva Red' GrapeReisch, B.I.; Luce, R.S.; Henick-Kling, T.; Pool, R.M. (New York State Agricultural Experiment Station, 2003)'Geneva Red' ripens usually between mid-Sept and early Oct at Geneva, NY. Depending upon maturity and cropping level it makes medium to dark red wines. In warm years wines may have cherry or red berry aromas with some labrusca notes. In cool years, wines tend to have some vegetative or herbaceous aromas. Color intensity is almost as good as for Baco noir and better than other hybrid grapes like De Chaunac, etc. The wines usually have better tannin structure than wines made from Baco noir or De Chaunac. The naming process for this grape variety was problematic. It was also called GR7, Rubiana and Abundance.Item New York Integrated Fruit Production Protocol for Apples. Appendix: NY-IFP Agrochemicals for 2006* Uses and Precautions(New York State Agricultural Experiment Station, 2006)Contains tables listing agrochemicals for use under the New York Integrated Fruit Production Protocol for Apples.Item 'Corot noir' GrapeReisch, B.I.; Luce, R.S.; Bordelon, Bruce; Henick-Kling, T. (New York State Agricultural Experiment Station, 2006)'Corot noir' is a mid to late season red wine grape suitable for either blending or the production of varietal wines. The wine has a deep red color and attractive cherry and berry fruit aromas. Its tannin structure is complete from the front of the mouth to the back, with big soft tannins. The vine is moderately winter hardy and moderately resistant to fungal diseases.Item 'Noiret' GrapeReisch, B.I.; Luce, R.S.; Bordelon, Bruce; Henick-Kling, T. (New York State Agricultural Experiment Station, 2006)'Noiret' is a mid-season red wine grape suitable for the production of varietal wines. The distinctive red wine is rickly colored and has notes of green and black pepper along with raspberry, blackberry, and some mint aromas. A major distinguishing characteristic of this selection is the fine tannin structure that is complete from the front of the mouth to the back. The tannin structure and the absence of any hybrid aromas strongly distinguish this selection from other red hybrid grapes. The vine is moderately winter hardy and moderately resistant to powdery mildew and Botrytis bunch rot.Item 'Valvin Muscat' GrapeReisch, B.I.; Luce, R.S.; Bordelon, Bruce; Henick-Kling, T. (New York State Agricultural Experiment Station, 2006)'Valvin Muscat' is a mid-season white wine grape with a distinctive muscat flavor and no objectionable bitterness. It is suitable for the production of desirable highly aromatic varietal wines or for blending purposes. It is more winter hardy and disease resistant than muscat grapes that are pure V. vinifera.Item Canadice and Glenora Seedless Grapes NamedPool, R.; Watson, J.; Kimball, K.; Einset, J. (New York State Agricultural Experiment Station, 1977-09)A breeding program to produce seedless grapes was begun by the New York State Agricultural Experiment Station in 1919. A major goal of this program has been to combine the seedless character that is derived from winter cold tender, disease susceptible grapes of Mediterranean origin with our native grape varieties so as to produce seedless varieties which are adapted to New York growing conditions.Item New York Integrated Fruit Production Protocol for ApplesCornell University Tree Fruit Work Group; Carroll, J.; Robinson, T. (New York State Agricultural Experiment Station, 2006)Integrated Fruit Production (IFP) is defined as the economically successful production of high quality fruit with the best possible protection of the agroecosystem, human and domestic animal health, wildlife and the environment. Crop protection methods are preferred that keep the use of agrochemicals to a minimum.Item 'GR 7' GrapeReisch, B.; Luce, R.; Henick-Kling, T.; Pool, R. (New York State Agricultural Experiment Station, 2003)'GR 7' is an early / mid-season red wine grape for use primarily in red wine blends. It is distinguished from other red wine grapes grown in cool climates by its high degree of winter hardiness, adaptation to mechanized production systems, and ability to survive in older plantings where other red wine grapes are lost due to tomato and tobacco ringspot virus infections. ?GR 7? is a highly productive, easy to manage cultivar, and is the sixth wine grape to be developed by the New York State Agricultural Experiment Station of Cornell University.Item 'Prelude' Red RaspberryMaloney, Kevin; Reich, Jack; Sanford, John (New York State Agricultural Experiment Station, 1998)'Prelude' is a new red raspberry developed by Cornell University at the New York State Agricultural Experiment Station in Geneva, New York. 'Prelude' is noted for having a very early summer crop, peaking in production well before all other standard varieties. 'Prelude' matures a high percentage of its fruit in late June and very early July. 'Prelude' plants are hardy and vigorous. Average fruit size and yield are similar to other early varieties. 'Prelude' fruit are attractive and easy to harvest. Fruit are high quality and firm, making them suitable for shipping and retail marketing. Early fruiting gives growers the advantages of premium first fruit prices and having fruit for sale over a longer season. 'Prelude', along with the release of 'Encore' (which extends the growing season approximately one week later), will significantly increase the raspberry harvest season.
