What is the primary purpose of "pruning and training" in vine management? ("Vineyard Management" Average Score: ) To adjust sunlight and ventilation, aiding in fruit ripening To facilitate mechanical harvesting To promote the growth of fruit To reduce leaf count None 3. Which terrain is recommended for mechanical harvesting? ("Vineyard Management" Average Score: ) Flat or gently sloping terrain Sandy soil Steep slopes Chalky soil None 4. How is hybrid defined? ("The Vine" Average Score: ) Crossbreeding within the same variety Propagation through grafting Crossbreeding between different species Mutation of a variety None 5. What is the main difference between "crossing" and "hybridization" used to create new varieties?

What part of the grapevine is affected by spring frost? ("Growing Environment" Average Score: ) Fruit New shoots and buds Roots Leaves None 9. What is the main risk associated with mechanical harvesting? ("Vineyard Management" Average Score: ) Only ripe fruit can be harvested Labor force is required Unhealthy berries and leaves are also harvested The skins become less prone to breaking None 10. What is the main reason why American grape varieties are resistant to phylloxera?
