A statistical model to estimate and describe bud fruitfulness in Pinot noir in cool
environments was developed. The study compared Pinor noir fruitfulness at three different …

Although grape yield is a direct consequence of flower development, few studies have
examined the characteristics of flowers and their impact on berry development. A novel …

Summary Goals: Oregon Pinot noir growers prefer head training and cane pruning to cordon
training and spur pruning, referred to herein as cane and spur pruning, respectively. With …

Severe prebloom leaf removal dramatically affects the source-sink balance in grapevines,
leading to a reduction in fruit set. In this study, carried on for two consecutive years, the …

The degree of bud break and fertility of buds on canes with one to 10 nodes was determined
in three grape cultivars (Villaneuva, Alphonse Lavallee, and Italia) under field conditions …

Plastic mini‐chambers were used as tiny 'glass houses' to increase bud temperature in the
vineyard. Open containers, with holes cut in them for ventilation, were used as controls, and …

Abstract Small Chardonnay and Shiraz vines were grown under controlled conditions at
25°/20° C day/night temperatures but transferred for one week to 17°/14° C or 12°/9° C at …

Leaf canopy structure of mature Pinot noir grapevines was manipulated during two
consecutive seasons: shoot tipping at full bloom (yes or no), lateral shoot length (no laterals …

Leaf removal has been increasingly employed to improve the cluster microclimate. Leaf loss
has been suggested to reduce fruitfulness and hardiness of buds at that node. Before such a …

Microscopic bud dissection can be used to assess grapevine bud fruitfulness prior to winter
pruning and long before actual bud fruitfulness can be measured in the vineyard the …
