  Application of manure and fertilizers to improve soil infertility and increase yields. Spraying with pesticides to control pests and diseases. Spray of warm air and use of “smudge pots” i.e. burning of oil in vine fields to control frost conditions. Use of machines to solve the problem of labour shortage. Use of irrigation during drought periods to enable continuous growth of vine. Development of processing factories on vine sites to reduce wastes due to perishability. Terracing and contour ploughing to control soil erosion on steep slopes. Land consolidation to make bigger vine farms for large scale production. Construct embankments along R.
