A field blend is a wine that is produced from two or more different grape varieties interplanted in the same vineyard. In the days before precise varietal identification, let alone rigorous clonal selection , a vineyard might be planted by taking cuttings from another vineyard and therefore approximately copying its genetic makeup.
A concoction of chemical or organic chemicals used to control weed growth in the vineyard. Organic and Biodynamic viticulture discourages the use of chemical herbicides that may include toxins. High density planting A vineyard management plan that incorporates planting a high number of vines per acre/hectare in order to improve fruit quality.
A vineyard (/ ˈ v ɪ n j ər d / VIN-yərd, UK also / ˈ v ɪ n j ɑːr d / VIN-yard) is a plantation of grape-bearing vines. Many vineyards exist for winemaking; others for the production of raisins, table grapes, and non-alcoholic grape juice. The science, practice and study of vineyard production is known as viticulture.

Diagram of a 4'x4' layout showing various planting densities per square foot Strings are just a guide for plant spacing Wood dividers. The phrase "square foot gardening" was popularized by Mel Bartholomew in a 1981 Rodale, Inc. book [1] and subsequent PBS television series. [2] Bartholomew, a retired engineer, devised the system.
Large bodies of water, such as Lake Geneva in Switzerland, can have a moderating effect on the climate of a region.. Beyond establishing whether or not viticulture can even be sustained in an area, the climatic influences of a particular area goes a long way in influencing the type of grape varieties grown in a region and the type of viticultural practices that will be used.

A cane-trained vineyard using vertical trellising similar to the VSP system Vine training systems can be broadly classified by a number of different measurements. One of the oldest means was based on the relative height of the trunk with the distance of the canopy from the ground being described as high-trained (also known as "high culture" or ...
Vitis (grapevine) is a genus of 81 accepted species [5] of vining plants in the flowering plant family Vitaceae.The genus consists of species predominantly from the Northern Hemisphere.
