The book provides a thorough introduction to viticulture and describes all the fundamentals, practical procedures, and requirements for independently managing a vineyard, from establishing a new vineyard area to grape harvesting. In addition to the most important grape varieties, it outlines the methods and goals of grape breeding as well as the implementation of rootstock production in grapevine grafting. Protecting the vines from diseases and pests, as well as soil conservation, requires extensive expertise to preserve the environment and is therefore presented in detail. Today, viticulture cannot be practiced without knowledge of business and labor economics, IT, and legal foundations. Consequently, these areas are also addressed comprehensively.
