Enjoy wine with dinner? Many of us do! But few consider the challenges and delicate process behind producing wine grapes and other fruit crops.
Press play to learn from the experts and explore:
- The number one limiting factor in growing fruit crops
- Whether it’s better to grow grapes in greenhouses or nature (and why)
- How long it takes to grow wine grapes
- Strategies for reducing the risk of a dangerous, widespread infectious plant disease
- How one year’s perennial crop production impacts the following year’s
- The tradeoff between crop volume and crop quality
Jim Kamas is an assistant professor and extension fruit specialist in the AgriLife Extension Viticulture & Fruit Lab at Texas A&M; Jacy Lewis is the program manager at the same lab. Learn more about their work by visiting https://aggie-horticulture.tamu.edu/vitwine/.
