GRAPE

General Disease Resistance

According to Texas A&M University tests at Lubbock, American grapes (Vitis labrusca) and French hybrid grapes exhibit general disease resistance. The french grape (Vitis vinifera) has the greatest disease susceptibility. Muscadine grapes (genus Muscadinia), native to the United States, are resistant to most diseases.
