Aerial image analysis was utilised to predict dormant pruning weights between two growing
seasons. We utilised an existing in‐row spacing trial in order to examine the relationship …

Three spectral vegetation indices were examined for their correlation with vertically shoot‐positioned
canopy density (leaf area per metre of canopy) using both field spectroscopy data …

Viticulturists and vintners must have accurate estimates of vineyard yields in order to make
the necessary plans for a vintage. However, estimating yields is difficult because of inherent …

Training system and pruning severity treatments and several vine canopy conditions were
investigated for their effects on cluster weight and juice quality. Training system had no major …

Cluster tightness was measured and Botrytis bunch rot was evaluated for six Chardonnay
clones in each of two trials, one cane-pruned and the other spur-pruned. In both locations, …

The effect of rootstock on seasonal vine nutrition was monitored at three trials in Northern
California: two in the Sacramento Delta with Chardonnay and Cabernet Sauvignon as the …

Viroid-free Vitis vinifera cultivars Cabernet Sauvignon and Sauvignon blanc were established
in controlled field trials in California, USA, to evaluate the relationship between grapevine …

The number of nodes per cane was shown to have an effect on the development and onset
of growth of primary buds at basal nodes. The delay in development of primary shoots was …

Vidal blanc grapevines were trained to four training systems: (1) High Cordon - a bilateral
cordon at the top wire (1.7 m); (2) Low Cordon - bilateral cordon at the bottom wire (1.0 m); (3) …

Twenty Pinot noir clonal selections were evaluated for viticultural characteristics in a vineyard
managed for production of sparkling wine in the Los Carneros American Viticultural Area, …
