Jeff Atherton, Professor of Tropical Horticulture, University Of CROP PRODUCTION SCIENCE IN HORTICULTURE SERIES Series Editors: Jeff Atherton, Professor of Tropical Horticulture, University of the West Indies, Barbados, and Alun Rees (retired), former Head of Crop Science, Glasshouse Crops Research Institute, Horticultural Consultant and Editor of the Journal of Horticultural Science and Biotechnology. This series examines economically important horticultural crops selected from the major production systems in temperate, subtropical and tropical climatic areas. Systems represented range from open field and plantation sites to protected plastic and glass houses, growing rooms and laboratories. Emphasis is placed on the scientific principles underlying crop production practices rather than on providing empirical recipes for uncritical acceptance. Scientific understanding provides the key to both reasoned choice of practice and the solution of future problems. Students and staff at universities and colleges throughout the world involved in courses in horticulture, as well as in agriculture, plant science, food science and applied biology at degree, diploma or certificate level, will welcome this series as a succinct and readable source of information. The books will also be invaluable to progressive growers, advisers and end-product users requiring an authoritative, but brief, scientific introduction to particular crops or systems. Keen gardeners wishing to understand the scientific basis of recommended practices will also find the series very useful. The authors are all internationally renowned experts with extensive experience of their subjects. Each volume follows a common format covering all aspects of production, from background physiology and breeding, to propagation and planting, through husbandry and crop protection, to harvesting, handling and storage. Selective references are included to direct the reader to further information on specific topics. Titles Available: 1. Ornamental Bulbs, Corms and Tubers A.R. Rees 2. Citrus F.S. Davies and L.G.

We think it will be of interest to enthusiasts of the vine and its products who want to learn a bit more about how grapes are grown and a lot about the whys behind the methods. There are answers to many questions in the following chapters but, as always seems to be the case, the more you learn the more you discover that there is always more to learn! Grapes have so many uses and are so unique that no fruit can challenge their superiority. The production of grapes continues to grow: China now produces more table grapes than the next nine major producing countries combined. It seems inevitable that China will also dominate wine grape production at some point, which makes life in the industry terribly interesting and exciting! In fact, methods of grape production and how the fruit is utilized are changing rapidly. For example, the advent of year-round supplies of table grapes, facilitated through economic means of shipping between the northern and southern hemispheres, has bolstered demand for the product, leading to more innovation and investment in the industry and improvement in our ability to grow and market them.

  • Grape Varieties for Wine Production 1
    UNIVERSITY OF CALIFORNIA COLLEGE OF AGRICULTURE AGRICULTURAL EXPERIMENT STATION BERKELEY, CALIFORNIA CIRCULAR 356 August, 1943 GRAPE VARIETIES FOR WINE PRODUCTION 1 M. A. AMERINE 2 and A. J. WINKLER 3 Although California Wineries have utilized a considerable tonnage of raisin and table grapes since repeal of Prohibition, their preferred material is wine grapes. In this state there are now only 170,000 acres of such grapes, pro- ducing about 600,000 tons per year. The average annual winery crush (1937 to 1941) has exceeded 900,000 tons, but the annual crush of wine grapes has not exceeded 450,000 ; hence wine grapes have constituted approximately only 50 4 per cent of the total crush. Should normal winery demands continue, the acreage of wine grapes could probably be expanded with profit. The grower is interested in planting varieties that produce well, but the consumer is con- cerned with securing a product of good quality. Interest in wine-grape adaptation to the climatic regions of California has extended from the time of Agoston Haraszthy in 1860 to the present. From 1880 until Prohibition, the California Agricultural Experiment Station con- ducted detailed studies, first under Dean E. W. Hilgard, later under Professor F. T. Bioletti. Since Prohibition repeal the studies have been continued, and the present circular summarizes the best information available. Table wines may be either sweet or dry. They contain less than 14.0 per cent of alcohol, and the dry types should have over 0.6 per cent acid. The sweet types contain 0.5 to 5.0 per cent sugar and appear balanced with only about 0.5 per cent acid.

Ingenieur Agricole, Assistant Professor of Viticulture and Enology, College of Agriculture, University of California, Berkeley, Cal., U. S. A. 1903. PRESS OF FREYGANG-LEARY Co., 113-119 DAVIS ST., SAN FRANCISCO. O-C PREFACE TO CALIFORNIA EDITION (TRANSLATION.) The translation of the book which Messrs. Raymond Dubois and Edmund H. Twight are now presenting to California viti- culturists is a summary of the efforts accomplished by the viticulturists of France in the struggle against phylloxera, and of the new knowledge they have definitely gained for the reconstitution of vineyards. This knowledge has been revised to date for the present translation, and all new facts which actually permit to direct the reconstitution of vineyards are brought together in this California translation. The viticulturists of California are practically working under the same conditions as the viticulturists of the South of France, therefore the facts acquired in that region should be applied in their vineyards. These facts are simple, and consist, above all, in having recourse to the American vines most resistant to phylloxera, that is to say, in using pure species (V. Riparia, V. Rupestris, V. Berlandieri), or hybrids of these species (V. Riparia X V.

  • Rubus Proprietary Red Blend Australia Rubus Project Australia - South Australia
    Rubus Proprietary Red Blend Australia Rubus Project Australia - South Australia A blend of Rubired, Durif & Shiraz varieties: Rubired is a cross between Tinto Cao and Alicante Ganzin (which is itself a cross between Alicante Bouschet and Aramon Rupestris Ganzin). It is known for being particularly adapted to the hot climate and producing dark wines, as the color is not only coming from the grape's skin, but also from the grape juice itself. It was developed in 1958 by H.P. Olmo of the University of California Davis. Durif, also known as Petite Sirah, is also a cross of two different grape varietals: Syrah and Peloursin. It was created by French botanist Francois Durif in 1860 while keeping Syrah and Peloursin plants under the same roof; it happened from a natural process called "cross-pollination." The grape itself is known for its very aromatic, plummy character. Shiraz, which we all know for being the most recognized grape varietal of Australia, brings some minty, spicy and fruity characteristics to the wines. Deep, dark ruby color with aromas of blue fruit, confectionery and subtle licorice characters. Thick luscious palate with good structure and soft finish.

Voluntary U.S. grade standards are issued under the authority of the Agricultural Marketing Act of 1946, which provides for the development of official U.S. grades to designate different levels of quality. These grade standards are available for use by producers, suppliers, buyers, and consumers. As in the case of other standards for grades of fresh and processed fruits, vegetables, and specialty crops these standards are designed to facilitate orderly marketing by providing a convenient basis for buying and selling, for establishing quality control programs, and for determining loan values. The U.S. grade standards and inspection instructions for all fresh and processed fruits, vegetables, and specialty crops are available on the internet and upon request at the address below. These documents provide detailed interpretations of the grade standards and provide step-by-step procedures for grading the product. Grade standards are issued by the U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) after careful consideration of all data and views submitted during rulemaking. The Department welcomes suggestions for improving the standards in future revisions.
