Surface Damaged by Xylotrechus arvicola Larvae on Vitis vinifera: Relationship With Resistance and Breaking Times

Abstract

Conclusions: The grape weight and/or the vibration applied by harvesting machines in affected wood branches can produce production losses and cause serious economic losses to the wineries or owners of the affected vineyards and, therefore, could be recommended to remove annually the affected parts to avoid the accumulation of dead wood due to the ingestion of its vascular tissues at the first insects attacks.
