In this episode, we break the status quo and discuss alternative grapevine tissues being investigated for nutrient sampling. Dr. Nataliya Shcherbatyuk, post-doctoral researcher at Washington State University and the HiRes Team’s Project Manager, describes the research she conducted to understand the validity of other tissues in correlating with standard methods and how that project led to interesting findings about nutrient losses due to frosts and wind.
