Assistant professor and Extension specialist Zach Hansen published an article in the November 2018 National Plant Diagnostic Network newsletter about grapevine leaf rust. Grapevine leaf rust was observed for the first time in Tennessee in September 2018. The disease was found on grape seedlings at large box stores in several counties in middle and east Tennessee. Hansen suggests that growers, industry professionals, diagnosticians, and extension personnel should be aware of the disease and should be on the lookout for it.
