This book was released on 2013 with total page 104 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Norton (Vitis aestivalis Michx) is a vigorous grape cultivar that grows a dense canopy. This leads to shade in the fruiting zone that negatively affects fruit quality. Canopy management is thought to reduce canopy density and overcome this negative effect. Shoot thinning, shoot positioning, leaf removal, and summer lateral removal were done in various combinations of five treatments. Three of the treatments with opened canopies increased light and ventilation in the fruiting zone. Total fruit weight per vine and average cluster weight were not affected. Neither were juice soluble solids, pH, potassium, and malic acid. Cane pruning weight per vine was not consistently altered by treatment. Titratable acidity of juice was affected, showing a decrease with leaf or leaf and summer lateral removal. These practices would be beneficial in growing Norton because of its potential for high acidity at harvest. Wine pH, titratable acidity, and potassium were not affected; however, all were acceptable in the finished wine. Visual observation showed that the dense canopy control was prone to rot, and the leaf and summer lateral removal treatment was prone to fruit sunburn. Leaf removal is likely a better choice than both leaf and summer lateral removal. Leaf removal is faster to implement and there is less potential for fruit sunburn from excessive defoliation that comes from both leaf and summer lateral removal.

This book was released on 2019-12-06 with total page 423 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Fruits play a substantial role in the human diet as a source of vitamins, minerals, dietary fiber and a wide range of molecules relevant to health promotion and disease prevention. The characterization of genes involved in the accumulation of these molecules during fruit development and ripening, and in the overall plant’s response to the environment, constitutes a fundamental step for improving yield- and quality-related traits, and for predicting this crop’s behavior in the field. This is certainly the case for grapevine (Vitis vinifera L.), one of the most largely cultivated fruit crops in the world. The cultivation of this species is facing challenging scenarios driven by climate change – including increases in atmospheric carbon dioxide (CO2), solar radiation, and earth surface temperature, and decreases of water and nutrient availability. All these events will potentially affect the grapevine phenology, physiology, and metabolism in many growing regions and ultimately affect the quality of their fruits and of the most important derived product, the wine. The sequencing of the grapevine genome has given rise to a new era, characterized by the generation of large-scale data that requires complex computational analyses. Numerous transcriptomic and metabolomic studies have been performed in the past fifteen years, providing insights into the gene circuits that control the accumulation of all sorts of metabolites in grapevines. From now on, the integration of two or more ‘omics’ will allow depicting gene-transcript-metabolite networks from a more holistic (i.e. systems) perspective. This eBook attempts to support this new direction, by gathering innovative studies that assess the impact of genotypes, the environment, and agronomical practices on fruits at the ‘ome’-scale. The works hereby collected are part of a Research Topic covering the use of ‘omics’-driven strategies to understand how environmental factors and agronomical practices – including microclimate modification (e.g. sunlight incidence or temperature), water availability and irrigation, and postharvest management – affect fruit development and composition. These studies report well-settled transcriptomic and metabolomic methods, in addition to newly-developed techniques addressing proteome profiles, genome methylation landscapes and ionomic signatures, some of which attempt to tackle the influence of terroir, i.e. the synergic effect of (micro)climate, soil composition, grape genotype, and vineyard practices. A few reviews and opinions are included that focus on the advantages of applying network theory in grapevine research. Studies on vegetative organs in their relation to fruit development and on fruit-derived cell cultures are also considered.

Download or read book Comparisons of 17 Red Wine Grape Vitis Vinifera L Cultivars Under Deficit Irrigation Over Four Years in the San Joaquin Valley of California written by Alexander David Levin and published by . This book was released on 2016 with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In recent years, deliveries of water for agricultural use in the San Joaquin Valley (SJV) of California have been reduced, or in some instances cut all together. Since 1980, the acreage of annual crops has decreased by 40%, while the acreage of perennial crops has increased by 77%. Recent research has shown that perennial crops have a higher potential for water conservation. Also, it has been shown that yields do not decrease significantly under some moderate levels of water stress. As trends in California agriculture shift away from traditional field crops, more detailed information is needed on the amount of water required to grow tree and vine crops. Vineyards now account for nearly half of the total acreage of woody perennial crops in California. Worldwide, approximately 10,000 grapevine cultivars are grown on over 8 million hectares of land covering a wide range of climates, from hot and dry to cold and wet. This apparent genetic diversity has led researchers to group different cultivars according to the drought responses of numerous vegetative and reproductive parameters. However, no studies have utilized an established cultivar trial to directly compare multiple cultivars grown at the same site and subjected to the same water stress. Growers in the SJV would have the most potential to conserve water if the more was known about how individual cultivars response to drought at different times of the growing season. Seventeen different red wine grape V. vinifera L. cultivars grafted on to the same rootstock (1103P) were grown in a replicated cultivar trial, and subjected to three different deficit irrigation regimes over four years in order to manipulate [psi][subscript l] at various times throughout the growing season. An early deficit treatment (ED) received no applied water from berry set until veraison, and then was irrigated at 50% of ET[subscript c] from veraison until harvest. A late deficit treatment (LD) was irrigated at 100% ET[subscript c] from berry set until veraison, and then received no applied water until harvest. The sustained deficit treatment (SD) was irrigated at 50% of ET[subscript c] from berry set until harvest. Previous work has categorized wine grape cultivars into ‘isohydric’ or ‘anisohydric’ groups based on the response of stomatal conductance (g[subscript s]) to plant water status (leaf water potential ([psi][subscript l])). Significant differences in l among cultivars were observed during both time periods, but the effects of the water deficits were consistent across growing seasons. There were no significant differences in maximum stomatal conductance (g[subscript max]) among cultivars. Cultivar-specific responses of g[subscript s] to [psi][subscript l] did not separate into two distinct groups, but were broadly distributed based on a negative relationship between the [psi][subscript l] threshold for the beginning of stomatal closure at 95% of g[subscript max] and the rate of stomatal closure. Cultivar mean [psi][subscript l] values were positively related to the [psi][subscript l] threshold for the end of stomatal closure at 25% of g[subscript max]. Potential mechanisms of stomatal closure related to vascular anatomy are discussed. The quantitative models of g[subscript s] response to [psi][subscript l] presented in this study provide baseline threshold [psi][subscript l] values from which to compare cultivars in future research. With increasing competition for water resources, accurate information regarding crop water requirements is needed for informed irrigation management decisions. Early (preveraison) water deficits (ED-treatment) consistently and significantly reduced yields compared to the control across all years and cultivars, but the late (post-veraison) deficit (LD) treatment vines were not different from the control. The reduction in yield with ED was primarily due to a significant reduction in berry fresh weight (FW), and clusters per vine, with little change in berries per cluster. The LD treatment had a limited effect on berry FW and did not affect other yield components. Variation in yield was mostly due to berries per vine rather than berry FW, although this depended on cultivar. There were also cultivar differences in the proportion of variation in berries per vine explained by either clusters per vine or berries per cluster. Irrigation treatment or applied water amounts did not have a consistent effect on the water footprint but it was strongly dependent on yield. Implications of the timing of water deficits on the productivity of wine grapes in the SJV are discussed with respect to cultivar differences in yield formation. Previous research has shown that berry size is the most important component in grapevine yield, and that the sensitivity of grape berry growth to water deficits depends on the timing of those deficits. Berry growth was significantly reduced in ED for every cultivar, and berry absolute and relative growth rates (AGR and RGR, respectively) were significantly lower at the first measurement date after imposition of irrigation treatments. RGR was consistently higher in ED compared to SD and LD postveraison, but lost growth was not made up for in ED berries at harvest. AGR and RGR were significantly more sensitive to vine water status preveraison compared to postveraison for all cultivars. Ripening rate was highly conserved across cultivars and years, and was only slightly (but significantly) reduced in ED compared to SD and LD. In comparison, sugar translocation rate varied widely among cultivars and years, and was significantly different among all irrigation treatments. Sugar translocation rate depended strongly on berry size at veraison, but ripening rate did not. Irrigation treatments and cultivars affected the timing of ripening events independently with no interaction, and the timing of events was more dependent on berry sugar concentration (TSS) than days after anthesis (DAA). The results of this study may provide growers with cultivar-specific pre- and postveraison vine water status targets for irrigation scheduling, as well as assist with the timing of vineyard operations through better understanding of the timing of ripening events near the end of the season.

Download or read book Effect of Rootstock on Vegetative Growth Yield and Fruit Composition of Norton Grapevines written by Jackie Leigh Harris and published by . This book was released on 2013 with total page 85 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Norton is an important commercial grape cultivar commonly grown in Missouri and the surrounding region because of its wine quality and disease resistance. However, own-rooted Norton vines typically produce fruit with high pH, malic acid, and potassium, which are known to reduce quality, aging potential, and stability of wine. Additionally, own-rooted Norton vines often produce excessive vegetative growth. Thus, effects of selected rootstocks on Norton fruit composition, yield, and vegetative growth were studied in Phelps County, MO within a commercial vineyard during 2010 and 2011. Rootstocks included 3309C, 101-14, Schwarzmann, 5BB, SO4, 1103P, 110R, 140Ru, 1616C, and 44-53M. Own-rooted Norton vines were also included as a control. Rootstocks did not affect vegetative growth or fruit characteristics (organic acids, glucose, or fructose). However, Norton petiole contents of Ca and P were deficient on some rootstocks in 2010 and 2011. Vines on 101-14, 110R, and 1616C rootstocks produced greater fruit yield than own-rooted vines. Nitrogen, P, K, Ca, Mg, S, and Mn contents in juice were also affected by rootstock, but all were within acceptable ranges. While fruit yields were enhanced by the rootstocks, it may be necessary to alter fertilization and pruning practices to sustain high cropping.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Because of their dense nature, Norton grapevine canopies can prevent much sunlight from reaching the fruit clusters, so various degrees of canopy manipulation were implemented on Norton grapevines at Mountain Grove, Missouri. This experiment opened the canopy in attempts to improve both fruit and wine quality by allowing more sunlight to reach the clusters. Treatments included an unmanaged control, shoot positioning removal of primary leaves directly surrounding the grape clusters, removal of primary leaves and secondary shoots surrounding the clusters, and removal of primary leaves and secondary shoots around the clusters on the north side of the canopy only. Interior canopy light, leaf layers, and foliage removed were measured and analyzed. The canopy was significantly opened with more severe manipulation. Yield showed no significant differences among treatments, but increased slightly with increased defoliation. Analyses on the juice showed significantly lower values for pH and titratable acidity in the most severely defoliated treatment. Shoot positioning and primary leaf removal caused an increase in total soluble solids. The unmanaged control and most severely defoliated treatment were processed into wine, and although there were no significant differences, the trend was toward decreases in pH and potassium and increases in total anthocyanin canopy manipulation significantly increased the amount of sunlight that could reach the cluster and showed some improvement in fruit composition and red wine components.

Download or read book Canopy and Irrigation Management Effects on Grape Acidity written by Evan Fritzke and published by . This book was released on 2022 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Grapes harvested in warm climates like eastern Washington often have lower amounts of acid than grapes harvested in cooler climates. Acidity plays a central sensory role especially in white wines due to their lack of tannins. Low acid wines with high pH are also more susceptible to microbial spoilage. Climate change will heighten acidity issues by causing hotter growing season temperatures and harsher water stress. Thus, there is a need to determine which management practices will aid in the preservation of acidity. Three canopy management treatments, two irrigation strategies, and two white wine grape varieties, Riesling and Chardonnay, were tested in a field trial at the WSU Roza vineyard in 2020 and 2021. These varieties were chosen with consultation from industry members, and their differences in acidity profiles will provide an interesting comparison. Vines either had leaf removal and shading, just leaf removal, or no treatment at all (control). These canopy treatments were replicated over vines receiving full or deficit irrigation, defined as half the amount of water applied in the full irrigation treatment. We hypothesized that removing leaves on the east side of the fruit zone after fruit set will stimulate acid production. We also hypothesized that repositioning shoots to shade berries after they begin to ripen will limit the loss of acidity during ripening. Berries were sampled throughout the growing season to track the changes in acidity as well as the effects of the treatments on berry acidity. Canopy treatments caused significant changes in fruit zone temperature, but these changes did not correlate well with any changes in fruit composition. Vines in the full irrigation regime retained more acidity than water stressed vines. These changes in acidity were primarily differences in titratable acidity and malate concentrations. Irrigation treatments did not negatively impact other quality parameters such as pH, total soluble solids, or potassium concentrations.
