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.
