The Background:

What's New:

NVG's ROOTSTOCK has been around for more than 17 years. It started as the "Vit Fair" tradeshow, evolved to the "Wine & Grape Expo," and then became what it is today, an end-of-harvest educational conference. This event gives us the chance to connect with industry colleagues and friends, hear from experts in the field, get the latest industry research, and raise a glass to the current vintage. 

However, we want to do more. NVG strives to always meet the changing needs of the industry. With so many issues facing growers these days, it is hard to cover them all under one event. So, this year's ROOTSTOCK will once again evolve...

​This year, we are going to dive deep into one topic:
​herbicide use in the vineyard.

The conference will provide attendees with the history of herbicide use in vineyards and agriculture, the public perception, the various forms of its use, alternatives offered, a case study, and regulatory plans that will take effect in the future. 
​
We hope this new format will inspire conversations and enable you to learn, network, and discuss a controversial topic in an open and collaborative manner.
