rain-shelteringVitis was among the first
fruit domesticated species, and now it’s one
of the
most extensively grown and economically
significant fruit crops over the globe. Grape
berries are often eaten fresh but are commonly
used to produce wine and are also processed
into value-added products such as jams,
juices, grape seed oil, grape seed extract,
raisins, and vinegar. Grapevines are naturally
adapted to a wide range of soil types, ranging
from blow sands to clay loams, from shallow to
very deep soils, from highly calcareous to
non-calcareous soils, and from very low to
high fertility soils. According to statistics
of 2020, the planting area of grapevines is
almost 7.3 million hectares, with a yield of
over 74 million metric tons, which puts an
average value of over 187 billion US dollars
in the grape industry and is expected to reach
407.97 billion US dollars by 2026. This
industry and its derivatives alone have
created millions of job opportunities
worldwide.
Since the unexpected increase in grape
cultivation in 2011, China has been the world
’s second-largest grape cultivation area,
with 0.7 million hectares producing area and
an annual production of 14.3 million metric
tons, exceeding the entire production of nine
major producing countries. Though grapes have
the characteristics of strong eco-
adaptability, early fruiting habits, high
yield, and long productive life, the
differences in climate and soil conditions in
China demand multiple grape cultivation
techniques. With the development of the
economy and the promotion of various easy
cultivation approaches such as rainproof
cultivation, as well as the application of
supporting cultivation techniques such as cold
protection by burying soil, breaking dormancy,
and inducing buds, and standardized soil,
fertilizer, and water management, many areas
are suitable for grape cultivation and have
become the major producing regions. At the
same time, due to differences in climate and
economic conditions, various cultivation
measures have been introduced, such as the
rain sheltering cultivation model on the
southeast coast and the cold-proof model of
soil burying in winter in North China. It has
played an important role in the development of
agriculture and rural economy. Jiangsu
Vocational College of Agriculture and Forestry
(JSAFC) is a famous vocational college in
training both Chinese and international
students. The establishment of the
international student education textbook
system in JSAFC has always been valued. With
the cultivation of superior grape varieties
and the development of more efficient vineyard
management practices, the grape industry will
play a more significant role not just in China
but also in other regions of the world. Xie
Zhengqiang, Zhao Pengcheng, Peng Bing, Xu
Huanyu, etc. decided to write this textbook to
transfer the knowledge and technology of grape
cultivation based on China’s experience to
other parts of the world. They are not only
active teachers but also scientists of grape
science and technique. This book covers the
main aspects of grape cultivation
technologies, including important superior
grape cultivars and their selection; grape
seedling propagation; construction of
vineyards; soil, fertilizer, and water
management of grapes; training and pruning of
grapes; flower, and fruit management of
grapes; application of plant growth
regulators; and control of main grape diseases
and pests.
