11. • Epicotyl grafting in mango-
• Stone/epicotyl grafting is a simple, cheap and quick method
of mango propagation with a success rate of 75-80%.
• For this purpose, stones should be sown in June-July on
raised beds of size 1x3 m.
• The beds should be prepared by mixing soil and FYM in
the proportion of 2:1.
• After germination, seedlings with tender stems having
coppery leaves are lifted with stones still attached.
• The roots and stones are dipped in 0.1% Carbendazim
solution for 5 minutes after washing the soil.
• The seedling stems are headed back leaving 6-8 cm long
stem.
• A 4-6 cm longitudinal cut is made running down through
the middle of the stem.
11

12. • A wedge shaped cut starting on both sides is made on
the lower part of scion stick.
• The scion stick should be 4-5 months old and 10-15 cm
long containing plumpy terminal buds.
• The scion stick is then inserted in the cleft of the
seedlings and tied with polythene strips.
• The grafts are then planted in polyethylene bags
containing potting mixture.
• The bags are then kept in the shade protecting from
heavy rain.
• The scion stars sprouting 15-20 days after grafting.
• Care should be taken to remove the sprouts on the
rootstocks below the graft union during this period.
• July is the most suitable month for stone grafting.

18. National Research Centre on Grapes, Pune
Date- 18/01/2019
18

19. Instructor:-Dr. D.D. Khade
• The ICAR-National Research Centre for Grapes under
Indian Council of Agricultural Research (ICAR), New
Delhi was established on 18th January 1997 at Manjri,
Pune
• Area spread in 100 acre land in which 50% land under
cultivation and 50% land under rootstock preparation.
• Main aim of NRC is to develop the vine quality with
use of strain and also improve anthocyanin and alcohol.
• NRC mainly work on powdery mildew and downy
mildew on 500+ different varietal germplasms are
maintained in NRC.
• Centre celebrates grape day on 3-5 march.
19

20. Mandate
• Strategic and applied research on safe grape production
and productivity.
• Transfer of technology and capacity building of
stakeholders for enhanced and sustained production of
grapes.
• National Referral Laboratory for Food Safety and
Pesticide residue in fruits.
20

21. Variety develop from NRC:-
Coloured variety: Green colour:- Manjri Navin
Red colour:- Red Globe
Black colour:- Fantasy Seedless
Juice variety: Thumika
3 Seedless variety: Thompson seedless, Sonaka seedless,
Ambe Sonaka
(Sonaka variety suitable for Gujarat cultivation)
21

22. Based on this mandate the research is conducted with the
following objectives:
• To collect, characterize, evaluate and
catalogue Vitis germplasm
• To maintain core field germplasms with wide genetic base.
• To develop varieties with economically important traits for
table, wine, raisins and juice.
• To develop appropriate and economically viable agro
techniques for quality grape production.
• To sustain the productivity and quality through management
of biotic and abiotic stresses.
• To develop technologies with minimal dependence on agro
chemical inputs.
• To develop appropriate pre and post harvest technologies
for extended shelf-life and processing into value added
products.
• To develop strategic alliances for research and transfer of
technologies. 22

23. Head System-
• Advantages of this system are easiness, inexpensiveness,
suitability in high density planting and possibility of
inter cultivation but yield per vine is usually low.
• This method is especially suitable for less vigorous
varieties producing fruitful shoots from basal buds such
as Beauty Seedless, Delight, and Perlette.
• Single shoot is allowed to grow from newly planted
vines, removing side shoots if produced and by help of
stake.
23

24. • Heading back the main
single stem at a height of
1.2 meters permits side
shoots.
• In general, four laterals at
about 75 cm above ground
level, in all directions are
retained after removing all
other shoots produced.
• Later two secondary's from
each lateral are allowed.
• Vines trained on head
system have bushy shape,
occupy less space and can
be adopted for high density
planting vineyards.
24

25. Bower / Pandal / Pergola system-
• Two vigorous shoots in opposite
direction are maintained initially
as primary arms and three laterals
spaced at 60 cm are developed on
both sides as secondary arms on
each primary shoot, thus there
will be 12 secondary arms on
each vine.
• This is widely adopted in tropics
throughout world to exploit the
full productive potential of vines,
which show apical dominance
under tropics.
25

26. 26

27. Procedure of pruning:-
• First open the trench and apply chemical on it.
• Depending upon soil type, the rootstock are joint in
month of jan-feb.
• In sept-oct, scion is ready for the grafting.
• When the two bud sprout on the graft, first pinching are
done.
• Second pinch done when the arm size increase.
• Full canopy cover at 3rd year. After that remain one bud
and prune the arm.
• Double pruning also work on grape.
Few important points about grapes -
• Life of plant is 20 year maximum
• Different types of training like Pandal, Telephone, Head
system.
27

28. • In grape back pruning, forward pruning and fruit
pruning also work.
• For elongation of berries spray Gibberellic acid 200
ppm.
• Spray 4g in 60 lit of water at 50% flowering time.
• For control pink berries spray 200 ppm GA3 + Acrobat
+ mancozeb mixture 1.6 gm in 10 lit of water.
• For control of powdery mildew before 30 of fruit
seating spray hexaconazol 0.5 ml/1 lit.
• Main pest in grape is stem borer which is maintained
with proper care.
• Hen & chicken disorder – Zn deficiency.
• We also saw different machineries used in viticulture
like wrape around sprayer, juice extractor, disc plough,
powered sprayer, tractor mounted
Contin….
28

29. Drying of grapes:

Principle of rejuvenation
1.Trees have latent buds which are activated by heading back of branches
at certain point to put forth new sprouts which grow into branches
forming fruiting area.
2.When the branches are cut back, imbalance is created in root: shoot ratio
as a result new shoots arise from plant to balance it. 52

81. Drip Irrigation System:-
• Drip irrigation is today’s need because Water – nature’s gift to
mankind is not unlimited and free forever. World water
resources are fast diminishing. The one and only answer to this
problem is Jain Drip Irrigation Systems. “Jain Drip” the name
which you can trust, the only manufacturer of all drip irrigation
components.
• After detailed study of inter–relationship among soil, water,
crop, land terrain and related agro climatic conditions, Jains
designed a suitable and economically viable system to deliver a
measured quantity of water at the root zone of each plant at
regular intervals. This is to ensure that the plants do not suffer
from stress or strain of less and over watering. The system
installed at the farmer’s field is commissioned and training
imparted to the farmer, followed by regular after sales services.
• The result – A totally customized, efficient and long–life system
which ensures saving in water, early maturity and a bountiful
harvest, season after season, year after year. Apart from all this,
savings in labour and fertilizer costs.

82. The advantages of drip irrigation are:
1. Fertilizer and nutrient loss is minimized due to a localized application
and reduced leaching.
2. Water application efficiency is high if managed correctly.
3. Field leveling is not necessary.
4. Fields with irregular shapes are easily accommodated.
5. Moisture within the root zone can be maintained at field capacity.
6. Soil type plays a less important role in the frequency of irrigation.
7. Soil erosion is lessened.
8. Weed growth is lessened.
9. Water distribution is highly uniform, controlled by the output of each
nozzle.
10. Labour cost is less than other irrigation methods.
11. Variation in supply can be regulated by regulating the valves and
drippers.
12. Fertigation can easily be included with minimal waste of fertilizers.
13. Foliage remains dry, reducing the risk of disease.
14. Usually operated at lower pressure than other types of pressurized
irrigation, reducing energy costs.
