I yield to the melon master. Show us, Sang Min. Show us how to prune the melons. He bends down, selects a vine, and explains how to pick off flowers and select vines. Once we understand, we start pruning flowers and do half a row as an experiment.

The soil is maintained and improved with organic compost and fertilisers which can be made from a range of materials including animal manures and waste products from the fermentation, which are usually composted and spread on the ground under the vines. Typical composting material includes yeast deposits, sediment, marc, vine leaves, prunings and straw. 

The influence of the vine canopy and the pruning and training system can also be very important. Particularly as fiuit exposure to light influences the methoxypyrazine level significantly. Within the vine canopy, the more exposed fhiit provides a consistently lower level of methoxypyrazines than the more shaded finit, typically half or less of the level of that in the most shaded fhiit within the canopy (20). 

Bittersweets flourish in sun or partial shade in virtually any soil. Be sure to obtain both male and female plants to ensure fruiting. Control the aggressive vines by pruning them back severely each winter. 

Vines droop and shrivel. Cause Clematis wilt. This fungal disease is one of the most serious problems for clematis. When it strikes, prune out and destroy all affected parts. If you set the plant a few inches deeper than it was growing in the nursery at transplanting time, new vines may come up from the buried stem portion and produce new, healthy topgrowth. If the whole plant dies, don t try to grow another clematis on that site. 

Plant in a sunny site with deep, well-drained, moderately fertile soil and good air circulation to promote disease resistance. Train vines to a fence or trellis. Prune in late winter to keep the fruit within reach, to increase cluster size, and to allow air an i sunlight to penetrate the branches. Enclo fruit clusters in paper bags to keep birds away from berries and to control some insects and diseases. Many muscadines need cross-pollination, but the other types are self-pollinating. 

Fruit clusters enveloped with a fluffy, gray-brown coating. Cause Botrytis bunch rot. This fungal disease appears in tight fruit clusters and in vines with poor air circulation. For prevention, thin berries within clusters and remove some leaves around fruit. Clean up prunings, cluster stems, and mummified fruit by early spring. Plant resistant cultivars, including Baco No.r, Cascade , Catawba , Concord ,... 

Grape scales are tiny, round, immobile insects resembling light gray bumps. Scales usually hide under the loose bark of older canes or trunks, where they suck sap and cause the vine to slowly decline. For control, spray with dormant oil in late winter and prune old growth severely.

Vanilla is a fleshy, herbaceous, perennial vine that climbs to a height of 12 to 15 m. It thrives in a hot, humid climate up to about 2500 ft. The plant needs protection from wind. Under cultivation the supports are normally growing trees or shrubs planted at 8-ft intervals. The plant is propagated by cuttings that are planted close to the base of each support tree and regularly pruned to enable easy collection of the fruit. The plant flowers after 2 years, starts fruiting after 3 years and reaches a maximum yield in 10 to 12 years, after which time it is usually replaced by fresh...
