Block Grapes Plants Farming Soil Condition:-

Grapes generally require a hot and dry climate during their growth and fruiting periods. It is successfully 0 0 grown in areas where the temperature range is from 15-40 C. High temperatures above 40 C during the fruit growth and development reduce fruit set and consequently the berry size. Low temperatures 0 below 15 C followed by forwarding pruning impair the bud break leading to crop failure. The fruitfulness of buds is influenced by light. The light intensity of 2,400-ft. the candle is essential for optimum growth. However, low light intensities during the active growth stage (45-75 days after pruning) and fruit bud formation adversely affect the crop. It is most successfully grown at elevations ranging from 200-250m above m.s. An area with annual rainfall not exceeding 900mm well distributed throughout the year is ideal. However, rainfall during flowering and fruit ripening is not favourable as it leads to the spread of downy mildew disease. High atmospheric humidity is detrimental during vegetative growth and fruiting. At high humidity, the vegetative growth of vines is vigorous which affects the fruit size and quality. Similarly, high humidity during 30-110 days after forwarding pruning favours the development of fungal diseases. Grapes can be cultivated in a variety of soils including sandy loams, sandy clay loams, red sandy soils, shallow to medium black soils and red loams. The soil should be well-drained, having good water holding capacity and be devoid of any hardpan or impervious layer in the top 90-cm, with a water table at least 6.5m below. Grapes can also be grown successfully over a wide range of soil pH (4.0-9.5) however, soils having a pH range of 6.5-8.0 are considered ideal.
