Well Drained Soil
Best For Grapes
Deep, well-drained soils
can grow grapes producing
high quality wines, ac
cording to seven years of
experiments by hor
ticulturists with The Penn
sylvania State University.
The best yields, and high
quality red wines, have been
produced with Chelois, De
Cbaunac and Chancellor.
Yields have ranged from 6.9
to 7.7 tons per acre over the
past five years. High qualify
white wines, and best yields,
have come from Vidal Blanc
(Vidal 256) and Seyval
Blanc. These grapes
averaged 6.9 tons per acre
during the past five years.
Reporting the finds is Dr.
Carl W. Haeseler, associate
professor of pomology at
Penn State. Dr. Haeseler is
pomologist with the Erie
•County Field Research
Laboratory at North East, a
division of Penn State’s
Agricultural Experiment
Station, where the studies
were begun in 1967. The
experiments involve 32
varieties.
In addition to suitable
soils, Wine grapes require
favorable weather in
pensburg by Gerald H.
Phillips, Teacher, who will
act as chaperone and
resource person for the
delegation.
The Institute program is
•designed to teach youth
more about the business
enterprise system in the
United States, to help them
in planning their future by
pointing out career
possibilities in agribusiness,
and provide opportunities for
individual leadership
development.
Approximately 250 young
adults, representing the best
of over 4,000 participants in
the annual P.A.F.C. youth
education program, will
attend the four-day event.
The Institute is a joint
effort of the Pennsylvania
Association of Farmer
Cooperatives, local Co-op
Councils, and the College of
Agriculture of The Penn
sylvania State University.
A total of 51 local boys and
girls took part in this year’s
cooperative program
sponsored by the Lancaster
Co-op Council.
relation to the last spring
frost and the first fall frost,
and air drainage that
protects plants from ex
tremes in cold weather. The
major insect and disease
problems in grape trials at
North East have been aerial
phylloxera, erimeum mite,
botrytis, powdery mildew,
and downy mildew.
Variety trails are also
underway in the south
central and southeastern
areas of the Commonwealth.
From preliminary ob
servations, Dr. Haeseler
believes several wine-grape
hybrids look promising for
these areas. The first
commercial crop should be
taken from some of the new
plots this season.
Perhaps the greatest
challenge faced in growing
wine grapes is to control bud
damage, especially by
robins, starlings, and
grackles. Varieties very
susceptible to birds are
Marechal Focb, Cascade,
Leon Millot, Aurora, and
Baco Noir. Dr. Haeseler said
all wine grape varieties are
attractive to birds in some
degree.
