To produce new vines for spring planting during the same year, hardwood cuttings can be rooted during late winter under a mist system in the greenhouse. This method saves one year in the propagation of new vines over conventional outdoor rooting methods. For greenhouse propagation, take cuttings from healthy vines of the desired cultivars . . . → Read More: Propagation For Grape Seed Crops In Greenhouses In most instances, grape growers should purchase planting stock from nurseries or commercial propagators. Occasionally, however, it is necessary or desirable for growers to produce their own vines. For instance, it might be desirable to increase a new cultivar before a supply of plants is commercially available or to produce replacements for missing vines . . . → Read More: Propagation Of Grapevine Seed Crops Vinifera table grape cultivars, such as Thompson Seedless or Flame Seedless, do not have sufficient cold hardiness to be grown in the Midwest. Although Concord and many other seeded grapes such as Buffalo, Alden, Steuben, Seneca, Golden Muscat, Edelweiss, Swenson Red, Yates, and others are grown and consumed fresh, berries without seeds are most . . . → Read More: Table Grape Cultivars Selection of the proper cultivars to plant is a major step toward successful viticulture. Before planting, commercial growers should give serious thought to the market outlet and the requirements of the processor or consumer who will purchase the crop. Cultivars that are in greatest demand or sell for the highest price also are . . . → Read More: Grape Cultivar Selection Selection of a site with desirable climatological characteristics helps to reduce cultural problems and assure success of the vineyard. The best vineyard sites are those with full sunlight, freedom from frost injury, and good soil drainage. The most frost-free sites are those higher than the surrounding areas. Cold air drains from higher sites into . . . → Read More: Topography For Grape Seed Crops The growth habit of the grape is in many ways similar to that of other fruit crops. Yet it is sufficiently different to warrant special study to understand the application of many cultural practices. Grape flowers and fruit clusters are borne only on new shoots arising from dormant buds. These buds are formed in . . . → Read More: The Grapevine |
