Research Progress and Prospects of Mechanized Planting Technology and Equipment for Wine Grapes

This article systematically reviews the research progress and challenges in mechanized planting technology and equipment for wine grapes, with a particular focus on the current status and development of the wine grape industry in China. Studies show that the global wine grape cultivation area is extensive, and China, as one of the major producers, has made significant progress in planting scale and technology application in recent years. However, compared to developed countries such as France and the United States, China still lags behind in the full mechanization of wine grape cultivation, especially in winter cold protection and spring soil clearing. This paper provides a detailed analysis of mechanized operations in wine grape cultivation and compares the differences in related technologies and equipment between China and other countries. The study points out that the main problems faced by China in the mechanized production of wine grapes include a wide variety of equipment, complex winter cold protection procedures, diversified planting patterns, and inadequate technical standards. Future development directions should focus on the integration of advanced technologies with traditional equipment, the construction of a full mechanization technology system, the integration of intelligent and information technologies, and the development of multifunctional composite equipment. By addressing these issues, this article provides a theoretical basis and practical recommendations for the full mechanization development of China’s wine grape industry, aiming to enhance its international competitiveness.
