[Function]

Grapes (Vitis vinifera) have been heralded for their medicinal and nutritional value for thousands of years. Egyptians ate grapes a very long time back, and several ancient Greek philosophers spoke about the healing power of grapes — usually in the form of wine. European folk healers made an ointment from the sap of grapevines to treat skin and eye diseases. Grape leaves were used to stop bleeding, inflammation, and pain, such as the kind brought on by hemorrhoids. Unripe grapes were used to treat sore throats, and dried grapes (raisins) were used for constipation and thirst. Round, ripe, sweet grapes were used to treat a range of health problems including cancer, cholera, smallpox, nausea, eye infections, and skin, kidney, and liver diseases.

Grape seed extracts are industrial derivatives from whole grape seeds that have a great concentration of vitamin E, flavonoids, linoleic acid and phenolic OPCs. The typical commercial opportunity of extracting grape seed constituents has been for chemicals known as polyphenols having antioxidant activity in vitro.

Soil and Climate
Well drained red loamy soils are suited for cultivation. Water stagnation should be avoided. Crop thrives best in areas receiving 70 cm annual rainfall.
Seed and seed rate
The crop is propagated through terminal cuttings (10 cm)
Season
Planting is done during June — July.
Planting
Planting is done at 60 x 45 cm spacing (37,030 plants/ha). In low fertile soils, planting is done at 60 x 30 cm which requires 55, 500 plants/ha.

Irrigation
Irrigation is given immediately after planting and subsequently at weekly intervals of time.
Manuring
Incorporate 15 t/ha of FYM during last ploughing. NPK at 30:60:50 kg/ha is applied in two split doses at 30 and 45 days after planting. Apply 10 kg ZnSo4/ha to avoid micronutrient deficiency.
Plant protection
Nematode
1. Crop rotation with Sorghum and Maize can be maintained
2. Planting of marigold along the sides of channels control nematode population
3. Apply 200 kg/ha of neem cake before planting
4. Apply 15 — 20 kg/ha of Carbofuran to control the infestation
Root rot
Trichoderma viridi @ 5 kg/ha is mixed with well rottened FYM and applied twice at 20 days interval.
Bacterial wilt
Drench 300 ppm of Streptocycline to control the wilt. Also apply Pseudomonas fluorescence 5 kg/ha by mixing it with well rottened FYM.
Harvest
Harvest can be done at 5 — 6 months after planting. Harvesting must be done without any damage to the tubers.
Yield
Fresh tubers : 15 — 20 t/ha
Dry tubers : 2000 — 2200 kg/ha

Post harvest handling
Harvested tubers are cut into small pieces and dried under shade until it reaches 8 % moisture level.

MEDICINAL PROPERTIES AND USES • Dried tuberous roots are the economic part. • Its tuberous roots are found to be rich source of an alkaloid called Forskolin • Forskolin is the important base for many drugs developed for hypertension, glaucoma, asthma, congestive heart failures, weight management and certain types of cancers.
• In addition, forskolin is reported to have been used in the preparation of medicines preventing hair greying and restoring grey hairs to its normal colour. • Leaves are employed in treating intestinal disorders and used as a condiment.

Varieties ‘Selection-K’ a non flowering type, has been found good under Nature Herbs, Kanpur. All the growing areas are using this type only.
