In a book that is highly relevant for the wine industry today, George Gale describes the biological and economic disaster that unfolded when a tiny, root-sucking insect invaded the south of France in the 1860's, spread throughout Europe, and journeyed across oceans to Africa, South America, Australia, and California-laying waste to vineyards wherever it landed. He tells how scientists, viticulturalists, researchers, and others came together to save the world's vineyards and, with years of observation and research, developed a strategy of resistance. Among other topics, the book discusses phylloxera as an important case study of how one invasive species can colonize new habitats and examines California's past and present problems with it. 606 $aGrapes$xDiseases and pests$xHistory$y19th century 606 $aGrapes$xDiseases and pests$xHistory$y20th century 606 $aPhylloxera 608 $aElectronic books. 615 0$aGrapes$xDiseases and pests$xHistory 615 0$aGrapes$xDiseases and pests$xHistory 615 0$aPhylloxera. 676 $a634.8/2752 700 $aGale$b George$f1943-$01049918 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910460130703321 996 $aDying on the vine$92479298 997 $aUNINA
