Question: Grape training system where they are connected with each other? (IBPS AFO 2020)
Options:
Skipping
Bower
Telephone
Kniffin
✅Explanation: The Telephone training system for grapes involves connecting the vines to create an overhead canopy or trellis. This system resembles telephone wires strung between poles, hence the name. It provides support for the vines, improves air circulation and sunlight exposure, and facilitates easier harvesting.
📌Other Options Explanations:
-Option A: Skipping: Skipping is a pruning technique where alternate buds are removed to regulate growth, not a training system.
-Option B: Bower: Bower systems are used for vine crops like cucumbers or melons, where the plants are trained to climb a structure.
-Option D: Kniffin: The Kniffin system uses vertical wires and a single or double curtain of foliage, but the vines aren't interconnected in the same way as the Telephone system.
