Q. The cultivation, growing and harvesting of the grapes is known as which of the following?
(A) Horticulture
(B) Pisciculture
(C) Viticulture
(D) Sericulture
Answer: C
Viticulture is the cultivation of grapes.
Viticulture is the broad term encompassing the cultivation, protection, and harvest of grapes where the operations are outdoors. On the other hand, enology is the science dealing with wine and winemaking, including the fermentation of grapes into wine, which is mostly confined to the indoors.
Manual harvesting and mechanical harvesting are the two routes that a wine grape grower can take to get the grapes off the vine and ready for the crush. Hand-harvesting affords more precise selection and tends to do a better job of protecting the grape’s juice content from oxidation due to damaged skins.
Maharashtra (Nasik, Sangli, Ahmednagar, Pune, Satara, Solapur and Osmanabad Districts) ranks first in the production of grape followed by Karnataka (Bangalore, Kolar, Bijapur), Tamil Nadu & Andhra Pradesh (Rangareddy, Medak, Ananthapur).
