nella seconda metà dell’800 la filossera decimò la viticoltura europea, indifesa contro il parassita presente sulle viti provenienti dal nuovo mondo, portatrici sane!!! sembrava quasi che l’america avesse voluto vendicarsi delle malattie portate dai conquistadores. fino a quel momento le viti europee non necessitavano di trattamenti perché non conoscevano malattie tranne il raro “mal d’esca”.
in the second half of the 19th century, phylloxera devastated european vineyards. they had no defences against the parasites brought over on vines from the new world, which were healthy carriers! it almost seemed as if the americas wanted revenge for the diseases taken across the ocean by the conquistadors. until that time, european vines needed no special treatment because they were not affected by anything except the rare “esca” disease.
