具体描述
Wherever grapevines are cultivated, this book will be welcome because it fills a long-standing need for a clear, concise treatment of modern viticulture. During the past fifty years, more progress has been made in the science and art of growing grapes for table use and raisin or wine production than in any previous century. This new edition has been revised throughout. The chapters on vine structure, vine physiology, the grape flower and berry set, development and composition of grapes, and means of improving grape quality add to our knowledge of the vine and its functions. The text is designed to enable those concerned with either vine or fruit problems to arrive at considered diagnoses. The student will find the text and the cited references a comprehensive source of information. The grape and allied industries should welcome the updating of the major portion of the book.Here the emphasis is on modern practices in vineyard management in arid and semi-arid regions - with special reference to California. Full and detailed treatment is provided or propagation, supports, training young vines, pruning, cultivation and chemical weed control, irrigation, soil management, diseases and pests, and harvesting, packing and storage. The practices recommended in the book are based on the extensive research conducted in California and elsewhere by the authors and their distinguished colleagues.Examples of practices based on experiments are: methods of propagation which by-pass the usual one-year-in-the-vine-nursery; pruning as related to leaf area and time of leaf functioning, and its effect on berry set and fruit development; virus disease control through thermotherapy and soil fumigation; pests held in check by sanitary, chemical, and biological procedures; and, irrigation practices as related to soil texture. Tissue analysis are employed as guidelines indicating the mineral deficiencies or excesses of vines. Machine harvesting of raisins (with cane cutting) and some wine grape varieties with problems are described. The regional recommendations for table and raisin varieties are based on log years of observations, while those for wine grapes are the results of studies of the interrelation of variety and the heat summation of the different climatic areas. No one concerned with the cultivation of grapes can afford to be without this book.

What truly impressed me about General Viticulture was its comprehensive approach to pest and disease control. It moved beyond a mere list of common problems and offered a holistic perspective on integrated pest management (IPM). The book meticulously outlined the life cycles of various pests and pathogens, explaining how to identify them and, more importantly, how to prevent their proliferation through ecological and biological methods before resorting to chemical interventions. The emphasis on creating a balanced vineyard ecosystem, where natural predators and beneficial insects play a crucial role, was particularly enlightening. This resonated with my personal interest in organic and sustainable farming practices. It's clear that effective pest management in viticulture is not just about eradicating threats, but about fostering a resilient and self-sustaining environment for the vines.
评分当我读到关于葡萄品种的介绍时，我仿佛打开了一个全新的世界。书中详细介绍了赤霞珠、梅洛、霞多丽等世界闻名的葡萄品种，不仅阐述了它们各自的起源、生长习性，还深入分析了它们的风味特征和适合的产区。我甚至可以根据书中的描述，想象出不同葡萄酿造出的葡萄酒的口感和香气。 尤其让我感到有趣的是，书中还提到了许多地域性非常强的葡萄品种，这些品种可能在主流的葡萄酒市场并不常见，但却承载着当地独特的风土和历史。这让我对葡萄酒的世界有了更全面的认识，也激发了我进一步探索不同地区风土的兴趣。总而言之，这本书就像一本葡萄品种的百科全书，让我收获颇丰。
评分The book’s exploration of vineyard site selection was a fascinating journey into the science of terroir. It meticulously detailed the various factors that contribute to a vineyard’s success, from aspect and slope to elevation and proximity to water bodies. I learned that these seemingly subtle environmental nuances have a profound impact on the development of grape varietals and ultimately, the character of the resulting wine. The author’s ability to articulate how these geographical and climatic elements interact with specific grape characteristics to produce distinct wine profiles was truly captivating. It made me appreciate the intricate relationship between the land and the fruit, and how the very essence of a wine is rooted in its origin. This section has fundamentally changed how I perceive the origins of the wines I enjoy.
评分这本书的结构安排非常合理，循序渐进，让我能够轻松地掌握 Viticulture 的核心知识。我特别欣赏的是，作者在讲解每一个技术细节时，都会辅以大量的图表和插画，这使得原本可能枯燥的理论知识变得生动有趣，也更容易理解。例如，在讲解葡萄藤的修剪方法时，书中详细描绘了各种剪枝的技巧，以及不同修剪方式对产量和品质的影响。我甚至可以在脑海中勾勒出自己在葡萄园中实际操作的画面。 更令我惊喜的是，书中还涉及了葡萄园的生态系统管理，以及可持续发展的种植理念。这让我意识到，Viticulture 不仅仅是技术的堆砌，更是一种与自然和谐相处的艺术。读到这里，我开始思考，如何才能在追求高品质葡萄的同时，最大限度地减少对环境的影响。这本书不仅仅是关于如何种植葡萄，它更是在传递一种对土地的责任感和对未来的展望。
评分书中关于葡萄园土壤管理的部分，对我来说是 revelation。我一直以为只需要把葡萄种下去，然后等它结果就行了，但这本书彻底改变了我的认知。作者非常细致地讲解了不同类型土壤的特性，以及如何通过施肥、覆盖、绿肥等方式来改善土壤的肥力、保水性和通气性。 我尤其被书中关于土壤微生物的作用的描述所吸引，原来土壤中隐藏着一个如此庞大而复杂的生命网络，它们对于葡萄的生长和健康至关重要。我开始反思自己在家中种植植物时，是不是也忽略了土壤的重要性。这本书不仅让我懂得了如何种植葡萄，更让我对土地有了更深的理解和敬畏。
评分The discussions on vineyard economics and business management offered a practical, real-world perspective that complemented the technical aspects of viticulture. I appreciated the book’s candidness about the financial realities of grape growing, including the significant investments required for land, equipment, and labor, as well as the market forces that influence profitability. The insights into market trends, consumer demand, and the importance of branding and marketing were invaluable. It underscored that successful viticulture isn't just about cultivation; it's about understanding the entire value chain, from grape to glass. This practical dimension made the book feel even more relevant and comprehensive.
评分The chapter on vineyard irrigation and water management was particularly insightful. Having always assumed that vineyards simply relied on rainfall, I was surprised to learn about the sophisticated techniques involved in ensuring optimal water levels for grapevines. The book detailed various irrigation systems, from drip irrigation to overhead sprinklers, and explained how to tailor water application based on the specific needs of different grape varieties, soil types, and climatic conditions. It wasn't just about providing water; it was about efficient and sustainable water use, a concept that resonated deeply with me. The discussion on drought tolerance and water stress management provided practical strategies for vineyard owners facing increasingly unpredictable weather patterns. This section alone has significantly broadened my understanding of viticulture as a science that balances the needs of the plant with the environmental realities.
评分这本书的封面设计就吸引了我。深沉的葡萄紫色调，点缀着金色的叶脉纹理，传递出一种沉稳而又充满生命力的感觉。当我翻开它时，一股淡淡的纸张和油墨混合的香气扑面而来，瞬间勾起了我对葡萄酒世界的好奇心。我一直对葡萄的种植和葡萄酒的酿造过程非常感兴趣，但往往觉得理论知识过于晦涩难懂。然而，当我开始阅读 General Viticulture 时，我发现它恰恰弥补了我的这一困惑。作者用一种非常亲切且富有条理的方式，将复杂的葡萄栽培技术呈现在我眼前。 从土壤的选择和改良，到葡萄藤的品种特性介绍，再到不同气候条件下种植的考量，每一个章节都像是一位经验丰富的葡萄园主在与我娓娓道来。我特别喜欢书中关于葡萄藤生命周期的详细描述，从萌芽、开花、结果到成熟，每一个阶段都充满了科学的奥秘。让我印象深刻的是，书中不仅讲解了葡萄藤的生理需求，还深入探讨了病虫害的防治策略，以及如何通过科学的修剪和管理来优化葡萄的品质。这些内容对我来说不仅仅是知识的获取，更是一种对大自然的敬畏和对细节的关注。
评分I found the sections on vineyard mechanization and technology to be incredibly informative. While my initial interest in viticulture leaned towards traditional methods, the book presented a balanced view, highlighting how modern advancements can enhance efficiency and precision in vineyard operations. The descriptions of automated systems for pruning, spraying, and harvesting, along with the use of sensors and data analytics for vineyard monitoring, were particularly eye-opening. It wasn't just about showcasing new gadgets, but about explaining how these technologies contribute to better decision-making, resource optimization, and ultimately, the production of higher-quality grapes. This perspective has given me a more nuanced appreciation for the evolution of viticultural practices and the role of innovation in the industry.
评分Ultimately, my experience with General Viticulture has been incredibly rewarding. It has demystified a subject that I once found intimidating, transforming it into an accessible and engaging field of study. The author’s passion for the subject is evident throughout, and the meticulous detail provided in each chapter has equipped me with a solid foundation of knowledge. I feel a newfound appreciation for the dedication and expertise required to produce quality grapes, and I am eager to explore this fascinating world further. Whether you're a seasoned professional or a curious beginner like myself, this book offers a wealth of information that is both educational and inspiring, opening doors to a deeper understanding and appreciation of viticulture.
