The ICAR-National Research Center for Grapes under Indian Council of Agricultural Research (ICAR), New Delhi was built up on eighteenth January 1997 at Manjri, Pune, with the accompanying command

Key and connected research on safe grape generation and profitability.

Exchange of innovation and limit working of partners for upgraded and supported creation of grapes.

National Referral Laboratory for Food Safety and Pesticide deposit in organic products.

In view of this order the examination is led with the accompanying goals:

To gather, describe, assess and list Vitis germplasm

To keep up center field germplasm with wide hereditary base

To create assortments with monetarily essential characteristics for table, wine, raisins and juice.

To create suitable and financially reasonable agro strategies for quality grape generation

To support the efficiency and quality through administration of biotic and abiotic stresses

To create innovations with negligible reliance on agro substance inputs

To create proper pre and post collect advances for broadened time span of usability and preparing into esteem included items

To create key unions for research and exchange of advancements

For this the accompanying five research programs have been distinguished in Vision 2050

Atmosphere strong viticulture

Accuracy Viticulture

Plant wellbeing and vineyard biological community administration

Esteem Addition and new era items

Motorization for grape generation

Ongoing Research Projects
