The use of clean grapevines (certified, disease-free) should be an integral part of such decisions because it has a direct impact on the successful establishment of vines, their survival and growth rate, as well as the quality of fruit.

Information on the production of clean grapevine material in the country and some of the best practices for maintaining plant health and integrity will be provided and discussed.
