UC Davis to Build New, $5.25M Greenhouse to Protect U.S. Grapevine Collection

A new greenhouse is being built at Foundation Plant Services (FPS) on the University of California, Davis, campus to safeguard an important grapevine collection from red blotch disease and other pathogens. The 14,400-square-foot greenhouse will have a vestibuled entry, be insect-proof and provide another level of disease protection. It is being spearheaded by FPS which provides the U.S. grape industry with high-quality, virus-tested grapevine plant material.
