1 Question Testbank for Horticulture 471/871, Vines, Wines and You Paul E. Read, Professor Horticulture/Viticulture This testbank of 30 questions was created to be initially used as a study guide for students taking Horticulture 471/871, Vines, Wines and You. The course has been taught twice as a trial balloon under the HORT 396 Topics designation. Now that it has been approved by the several requisite curriculum committees and has its own number (HORT471/871), it is envisioned that questions in this testbank, along with ones to be added, could be used for quic purposes also. The randomization capabilities afforded by the EDU system, both within and among questions, are invaluable in enhancing the student study opportunities and the power of testing options for the instructor. Questions 1 through 10 are Multiple Choice items that include information that should be useful as study aids, as well as providing specifics about viticulture and winemaking. Q.1.1 The species that includes the Classic wine grapes and most table grape cultivars is: Vitis vinifera Q.1.2 Norton (a.k.a. Cynthiana ) is the most widely planted wine grape in Missouri and is often cited as an example of a commercial wine grape derived from what species? Vitis vinifera Q.1.3 The muscadine grape, native to the southeastern part of the United States, is representative of what grape species? Vitis vinifera Q.1.4 Pierce s disease has become a serious threat ato the wine industry in Southern California. Which of the following species is/are considered to be immune to this disease?

2 Vitis vinifera Q.1.5 This insect nearly caused the demise of the European grapeindustry. Which of the following was it? Climbing Cutworm Black Rot Anthracnose Powdery Mildew Phylloxera Q.1.6 Pierce s Disease, a serious threat to the grape industry in Southern California, is spread by which of the following? Flea Beetle Glassy-winged Sharpshooter Grape Berry Moth Climbing Cutworm Grasshopper Q.1.7 Which of the following is likely to be the most successful method of preventing serious damage to winegrape crop? Chemical repellents Propane cannon Distress call recording Scare-eye balloons Netting Q.1.8 Which of the following is the most successful practice for preventing the ravages that can be caused by grape phylloxera to classic winegrape cultivars. Manure applications Planting only certified seeds Frequent fungicide sprays Grafting onto North American rootstocks Tip layering to adjacent areas Q.1.9 Of the following winegrape cultivars, which is the only one allowed for making red Burgundy wines? Frontenac Pinot Noir Merlot

3 Zinfandel Chardonnay Q.1.10 Which red winegrape cultivar is often referred to as California s Grape? Carmenere Sangiovese Pinot Noir Shiaz Zinfandel Questions 11 through 14 are Multiple Selection questions that should provide students with useful information as an aid to study, while providing the instructor with an excellent discriminatory device when these questions are used as quiz questions. Specific content information has been included as an aid to meeting these objectives. Q1.11 Of the following cultivars, which ones are good choices for winegrape production in Nebraska? Lacrosse Saint Croix Tempranillo Viognier Frontenac Q1.12 In contrast to the red wines of Burgundy, Bordeaux vintners may use up to six cultivars in blending red Bordeaux wines. Which of the following are permissible? Cabernet Franc Petit Verdot Cabernet Sauvignon Carmenere Malbec Q1.13 Essential ingredients for making wine from grapes include which of the following?

Cordon Anther Tendril Cane Leaf lamina Calyptra Primary site for photosynthesis. Stem modification that facilitates climbing. Stem arising from previous year s bud, bears current year s shoots. Floral part containing the pollen. Horizontal branch usually trained along the trellis wire. Flower part that falls off at anthesis. Q1.17 Match each term with the appropriate description. Budbreak Short berries Cap-fall Fertilization Veraison Onset of shoot development. Hard, green fruits interspersed with normally developing berries. Occurs at anthesis. Initiates fruit set. Onset of ripening associated with berry softening and color change. Q1.18 Match the pest problem with its corresponding symptom or description. Powdery Mildew Flea Beetle Downy Mildew Phylloxera Black Rot Insect that causes foliar galls on Frontenac and root damage on Vitis vinifera Fungal disease causing dusty-appearing lesions on the leaves. Early foliar symptoms appear as greasy-appearing, yellowish areas on the upper leaf surface. Tiny insect that often attacks developing buds in the Spring.
