Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Grapevine (Vitis vinifera L.) is one of the main crops worldwide. It has been cultivated since ancient times and its susceptibility to many different pests and diseases is well known. Potential disease-producing agents are many and very diverse, including viruses, fungi, nematodes, bacteria, and phytoplasmas.
Reducing the damage caused by these biotic agents is a priority to maintain the productivity and profitability of this crop. Traditionally, integrated control methods (IPM) have been used, by combining the effects of chemical treatments, cultural management techniques, tolerant cultivars, and biological control. Although much research has been conducted on grapevine diseases in the past, the arrival of new knowledge, new methods, and new techniques (higher resolution molecular techniques, massive genome sequencing, image analysis, sensors, risk assessment models, etc.) opens the door to innovative control strategies.
Research articles, review articles, as well as short communications are invited. The aim of this Special Issue is to share new knowledge and scientific-based methods focused on any aspect related to the understanding and optimization of grapevine disease control.

Manuscript Submission Information
Manuscripts should be submitted online at www.mdpi.com by registering and logging in to this website. Once you are registered, click here to go to the submission form. Manuscripts can be submitted until the deadline. All submissions that pass pre-check are peer-reviewed. Accepted papers will be published continuously in the journal (as soon as accepted) and will be listed together on the special issue website. Research articles, review articles as well as short communications are invited. For planned papers, a title and short abstract (about 100 words) can be sent to the Editorial Office for announcement on this website.
Submitted manuscripts should not have been published previously, nor be under consideration for publication elsewhere (except conference proceedings papers). All manuscripts are thoroughly refereed through a single-blind peer-review process. A guide for authors and other relevant information for submission of manuscripts is available on the Instructions for Authors page. Agronomy is an international peer-reviewed open access monthly journal published by MDPI.
Please visit the Instructions for Authors page before submitting a manuscript. The Article Processing Charge (APC) for publication in this open access journal is 2600 CHF (Swiss Francs). Submitted papers should be well formatted and use good English. Authors may use MDPI's English editing service prior to publication or during author revisions.
