NCPN Mission Statement (2008)
The NCPN provides high quality
asexually propagated plant material
free of targeted plant pathogens and
pests that cause economic loss to
protect the environment and ensure
the global competitiveness of specialty
crop producers.
Key NCPN Principle
NCPN identifies and supports a small but
appropriate number of stakeholder selected,
nationally focused clean plant centers that
serve as centralized, cost effective ‘HUBS’ to
diagnose and ‘clean’ material and provide
starter material to industry and the States
NCPN
Program History 2005-2011
NCPN – A Brief History 2005-2011
5 Existing U.S. Clean Plant Programs met at UC-Davis in 2005 to Discuss Early NCPN goals
– Establish Regional Clean Plant Centers
– Initially focus on fruit crops
– Secure Sustainable Funding
NCPN Steering Committee formed in 2006
– Identify and draft initial NCPN goals/objectives
– Report on history of existing clean plant programs
– Propose national workshop with a broader audience
NCPN Workshop – May 2007

2008-2010 Eastern Foundation Vineyard Issue
1. Is there a need for a foundation vineyard in the East?
Initial decision was YES.
2. If yes, where should the vineyard be located?
Single state versus multistate approach (Maryland, New York,
Pennsylvania and Virginia).
Numerous teleconference meetings of the Tier 3 East
Board were held from November 2009 – February
2010 in an attempt to resolve this issue.
National Clean Plant Network for
Grapes
Eastern Foundation Vineyard
Issue
A final vote of the Tier 3 East Board was conducted on this issue on February 3, 2010. The results of this vote were to not proceed with establishment of a foundation vineyard in the East. Reasons given included: – As of 2010, not clear if a foundation vineyard in the East is
essential. Crown Gall free plant material will be available from the new foundation vineyard at Davis (Russell Ranch) and NWGFS in Prosser, WA.
– Availability of clean material for Eastern growers. Eastern cultivars and new releases from breeding programs included in Russell Ranch foundation vineyard. FPS seeking input on new selections for the East.
– Funding is extremely limited especially with new crops joining the NCPN.
National Clean Plant Network for
Grapes
May 2010 - the NCPN for Grapes Board voted
to consolidate the Eastern and Western Regions
(Tier 3) into a single entity.
2010-2011 Activities
– Established NCPN for Grapes review process for
NCPN pre-proposals.
– Established NCPN for Grapes funding priorities.
– Significant revisions to original NCPN for Grapes
charter.
