Physiology of the vine | Abdelkader Tadja

Vineyards are of great importance socially, agronomically, and environmentally, as grapes are nutritious and can be considered whole foods. Viticulture helps make poor soils profitable, combat rain erosion, and stabilize light, sandy soils. The fruits of the vine are used in various ways, for fresh consumption or processed into different products. Its genetic diversity promotes cultivation worldwide. The technical processes and management throughout the annual growth cycle require labor and equipment.
