Grapebreeders Home Page
Welcome to Grapebreeders, the web site of the Grape Breeders discussion
forum.
The Grape Breeders discussion list was started on ibiblio.com
in 2002, as a means for anyone interested in the breeding of grape varieties
to contact each other and exchange ideas. Members range from novices who want
to learn how to breed grapes, to experienced private breeders as well
as university and other professional breeders. As the list grew, the members
began to contribute an amazing collection of resources, including breeding records
from private and university breeding programs, historical documents related
to grapes and grape breeding, their own personal breeding experiences, and more.
With so much material, it was apparent the group needed a website not just to
store the material, but to make it readily available as a resource. After a
couple of false starts, this website was started in December of 2005 and it
is hoped it can be a repository of knowledge for anyone with an interest in
breeding wine, table, and juice grapes and creating new varieties to extend
the range and adaptibility of grape growing.
The Grape Breeders discussion list itself, while accessible
only to members, is open to anyone with a genuine interest in breeding new grapes.
To join the discussion list, go to http://lists.ibiblio.org/mailman/listinfo/grapebreeders
and follow the instructions for signing up. You will have several options for
receiving mail. The default setting is to get letters from members as they are
sent. You can also set your subscription to "digest" to get letters
in large batches, or "no mail" and receive none, but be able to go
to the website and read and reply to mail there. There is no cost for joining,
and lots of benefits in sharing with an excellent group of grape breeders.

Grapebreeders in USA,
Holding your mouse on a site, you will get you a pop-up with name, location & GDD info. This GDD is calculated from the average month temperature during the past 20 years ( from www.weather.com ). Now the info from here is limited to a 12 months temperature index, meaning that I could miss up to ½ a month GDD in spring and ½ a month in the other end of the warm GDD season. So you probably have to add 100-200 GDD in worst case.
Grapebreeders in EU,
