First Paragraph: How do various cover crops affect wine grape production and quality? Do cover crops affect nutrient status, reduce vigor, or stress vines? Do they improve soil quality? Are some cover crops more attractive to gophers than others? The answers to these questions may vary depending on many factors, including variety and rootstock, soil type, irrigation method, and cover crop species and management. We sought to address these and other questions in a three-year study funded by the UC Sustainable Ag. Research & Education Program and the Lodi-Woodbridge Winegrape
Commission.
