A light-emitting diode (LED) system was evaluated as a tool for field research to investigate
light effects on grapevines. Preliminary laboratory trials were conducted to develop …

A device was constructed to heat and cool grape clusters (Vitis vinifera L.) in the vineyard as
part of a larger study on sunscald and color development in wine grapes (cv. Merlot) …

In order to reduce energy waste for artificial lights and subsequent air conditioning in plant
growth chambers, the aim of this preliminary study was to evaluate the feasibility of growing …

Systematic, quantitative understanding of sunlight in vineyards can provide a solid
foundation for optimizing viticultural practices. The spatial and temporal variability of …

The light and temperature come at the beginning of the climatic factors that have an impact
on the development of grapevine. Light and temperature have a direct impact on …

The effect of light on bud fruitfulness of Thompson Seedless (TS), Flame Seedless (FS),
Chardonnay (CH), and Cabernet Sauvignon (CS) was studied under field conditions in the …

Following is the invited perspective of an academic researcher and director of a multi-
institutional research and education project tasked to test the feasibility of adopting light …

Digital imaging and analysis was used to quantify and characterize the light exposure
patterns of photosensitive paper tubes placed in representative cluster positions in two …

Abstract Background and Aims In southern China, where the solar radiation is insufficient for
optimised grapevine growth, supplemental light sources are being used. The aim of the …

Light-emitting diodes (LEDs) have recently emerged as a potentially energy-efficient
technology in horticultural lighting, and their low heat generation favors their use between …
