How much do you know about establishing and maintaining vineyards?

Study Notes

Establishing wine plantations requires careful consideration of technical and scientific factors.
Different types of vineyards exist, including commercial, small/medium farms, backyard gardens, and research stations.
The choice of land, fertilization, clearing, leveling, and planting are all important aspects of establishing a vineyard.
Climatic factors, such as negative temperatures and relief shape, also play a significant role in cultivation methods.
Protected and unprotected culture areas are specified and delimited based on these factors.
Frost can cause damage to annual and perennial wood, leading to reduced grape harvests and wine production.
Cultivation methods vary depending on the frequency and severity of winter frosts.
Mulching or burying the stumps is recommended in areas with high frost frequency.
Unprotected culture is recommended in areas with low frost frequency, with leading forms on the stems.
Different types of trellis systems can be used depending on the cultivation method.
Vineyard nurseries produce high-quality planting material for vineyards.
Rootstock vines are planted and grown in nurseries, using American species resistant to phylloxera.
The choice of land for planting should be free of frost and early autumn frosts, with a vegetation period of 180-200 days and a sum of active temperatures over 3000C.
The pyramid system with 6-8 hubs or the horizontal/oblique trellis management system is used for supporting rootstock plants.
Care works are applied in the first two years after planting and in the following years for maintenance.
Grafted vines are produced by joining rootstock and scion, with a success rate based on healthy, viable material and a fast technical execution.
Grafted cords are harvested from plantations for production and stored in sand silos or cold rooms.
Grafting and growing cuttings involves preparing the strings, grafting, paraffinization, stratification, and forcing.
Grafting can be done manually or mechanically, with electric grafting machines showing quality work and labor savings.
The crates with layered material go into a room with light, heat, high humidity, and ventilation for concretion at the grafting point.
Grafting process involves creating a callus and growing a shoot from the graft
Shaping of grafted cuttings involves removing shoots from the rootstock and pinching molds
Grafted cuttings are taken to open ground to form roots and aerial apparatus
Care works include pruning, crushing crust, irrigating with nitrogen fertilizers, and fighting pests
Control of impurities and removal of extraneous vines is important
Vines are removed in the fall and classified according to norms
Suitable grafted vines must have specific biological characteristics
Vines are collected in packages of 20 and stored over winter
Environmental conditions include high humidity and anticryptogamic treatments
Planting is done in spring on permeable, fertile land with deep groundwater.
