Q

winter bud

A

A bud along the ventral side of the stem, formed later than lateral buds, remain dormant until the next spring, then gives rise to next years crop.

Q

What is Ampelography?

A

Identification and descriptions of grape varieties by studying the leaves, stems and roots. (i.e. Hair Density of the shoot tips, colour of the young leaves ect.)

annual vegetative and reproductive cycles for grapevines

22
Q

what is the goal of training systems?

A

to optimize yield and fruit quality and ripeness

23
Q

Shoot Tissues

A

pre-formed in the bud, lays dormant in winter

24
Q

Where do lateral roots form?

A

in the pericycle in the vascular tissue of the rootstock

25
Q

Is root growth predetermined?

A

root growth is NOT predetermined in the way the buds/shoots are formed
