In this video Dr. Elena Garcia from the University of Arkansas discusses sour rot, which has been a serious disease on the table grapes grown in Arkansas high tunnels.

Cultivars with tight clusters and thin skins are more susceptible to this disease and it is favored by wet weather, wounds or injury to fruit.
