Queen of the Vineyards

Grapes are rightly called the "queen" of fruit and berry crops, as their cultivation requires deep knowledge of both plant biology and technological processes. For an agronomist and an enthusiastic gardener, understanding the specifics of this crop is the key to obtaining a high-quality harvest. This collection combines the theoretical aspects of commercial viticulture with practical recommendations for selection and care, allowing for a systematic view of the industry's development and modern methods of working with planting material.

In the presented materials, the reader will find a historical overview of commercial viticulture in the republics of the former USSR and the RSFSR, as well as an analysis of the current state of the industry in France, including climatic and cultivar features. The practical section includes detailed guides on selecting and preparing cuttings for grafting, checking bud viability, as well as professional requirements for table cultivars. These articles will help to optimize production processes, correctly select cultivars to create a consumption conveyor, and master key pre-grafting preparation techniques necessary for successful grape propagation.
