Which of the following is an advantage of hand harvesting? ("Vineyard Management" Average Score: ) Less fruit damage and the ability to harvest the entire bunch Can be harvested in high temperatures Requires less labor Fast harvesting speed None 3. What impact can prolonged extreme heat in summer have on grapevines? ("Growing Environment" Average Score: ) Harvest is expedited Buds begin to grow New shoots grow Activity slows down None 4. What is the main role of "humus" found in soil? ("Growing Environment" Average Score: ) To protect roots To supply nutrients and moisture To enhance drainage To reflect sunlight None 5. What effect does a year with many clouds have on grapes? ("Growing Environment" Average Score: ) Acidity decreases Sugar content increases Photosynthesis decreases Fruit size decreases None 6. What are the characteristics of long shoot renewal pruning compared to short shoot pruning? ("Vineyard Management" Average Score: ) Simple and time-efficient Leaves longer shoots, requiring more labor Easily mechanized Increases the size of the fruit None 7. What factors are difficult to predict when determining grape yield? ("Vineyard Management" Average Score: ) Number of buds from winter pruning Weather, frost damage, and pests/diseases Types of pesticides used Rate of fruit ripening None 8. What is the main characteristic of a continental climate? ("Growing Environment" Average Score: ) Summers are short, and autumn temperatures drop suddenly.
