This subject contains a 3 day Compulsory Residential School.
The residential school will give students experience in the practical and theoretical aspects of grapevine growth and performance. Students will conduct practical exercises including spur and cane-pruning of grapevines, and dissection of grapevine buds (a necessary skill to predict vineyard yield). Students will also be provided with real-life exhibits of vine tissues so as to examine the anatomy and structure of the vine, and practice the identification of pests and diseases.
