Research
Research continues to be an integral part of the Pierce’s Disease Control Program. Projects range from lab-based investigations at the molecular and genomic levels to areawide projects in major agricultural areas. The information being generated is providing valuable insight into the biology, ecology, and behavior of Pierce’s disease and its vectors, moving us closer to an eventual solution.
