QUESTIONS
What is phylloxera? What does it to vineyards and how is it prevented?
- ANSWER Phylloxera is an insect. It feeds on the roots of vines where infections
can enter which kills the vine. It is prevented by grafting American rootstocks to
vines.
What are some of the reasons to use rootstocks?
- ANSWER Because they can provide resistance to Phylloxera, protection against
nematodes, resistance to drought conditions.
What is bench grafting?
- ANSWER An automated process where short sections of vinifera cane are joined
to rootstocks by a machine and then stored until they fuse together.
What is head grafting?
- ANSWER In an established vineyard the vine can be cut back and the shoot of a
different variety attached to the trunk. This is done in the vineyard and changes
the grape variety of the vine.
What is the function of buds on a shoot?
- ANSWER Buds contain the embryonic shoots for the following year.
,What is the function of tendrils on a shoot?
- ANSWER Tendrils grip the nearby supporting structure to help the vine stay
upright.
What is the function of leaves on a vine?
- ANSWER Leaves are responsible for photosynthesis. This is the process where
sunlight converts water and carbon dioxide into glucose and oxygen.
What are the name of the bunches of flowers formed on vines?
- ANSWER Inflorescences.
What is important about managing the one-year-old wood on the vine?
- ANSWER Pruning it into a cane or spur after winter to determine the number of
buds for the next years growth.
What is the function of the roots of the vine?
- ANSWER Absorb water and nutrients from the soil, anchor the vine and store
carbohydrates.
Why is heat important for vines?
- ANSWER Vines need heat to function. If it is too cold the vine will not grow or
will struggle to survive. Vines need at least 10°C to grow. The amount of heat will
determine which grape variety will grow in a region.
How does latitude affect the heat of a region?
, - ANSWER The closer to the equator a region is the warmer it is. The further away
a region is from the equator the cooler it is. Most vineyards are between the
latitudes 30° and 50°.
How does altitude affect the heat of a region?
- ANSWER Temperature decreases as altitude increases.
How do ocean currents affect the temperature of a region?
- ANSWER Warm or cold currents transport large volumes of water across the
surface of the ocean leading to localised warming or cooling.
How does fog affect the temperature of a region?
- ANSWER Fog can help cool an area of a warm climate region that may otherwise
struggle to produce high quality grapes.
How does soil affect the temperature of a region?
- ANSWER Soils that are dark in colour or stony can absorb and reradiate heat,
which can aid ripening. Soils that have a high water content conduct heat away
from the vine more quickly, which can delay budburst.
How does aspect affect the temperature of a vineyard?
- ANSWER Vineyards facing toward the equator will receive more heat. This can
aid ripening in cool climates. Steeper slopes will benefit even more from this
effect.
