One half of the total leaf area of'Sultana'vines was eliminated by either physical leaf removal
(defoliation) or by covering the leaves with aluminum bags (darkening). Treatments were …

About four weeks after anthesis, one of six defoliation treatments was given: control; removal
of all nonfruiting shoots; removal of two-thirds of the remaining leaves; and removal of one …

Leaves were removed from mature, quadrilateral-cordon-trained Sauvignon blanc vines at
fruit set, four weeks after fruit set, or seven weeks after fruit set. At each time, four levels of …

Crop-regulation techniques applied as preflowering defoliation (D), early cluster thinning at
preflowering (ECT), and cluster thinning at lag-phase of berry growth (LCT) were tested over …

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 …

'Thompson Seedless' vines were partially defoliated at 12, 35, and 58 days postanthesis
(PA). Vines defoliated 25 and 50% at 12 days PA had respectively 28 and 34% lower crop …

A study was conducted in 1991 and 1992 to determine the influence of cluster thinning at
various stages of fruit development on Flame Seedless table grapes grown in the San …

A comparison was made between the effects of leaf shading and cluster shading on grape
composition and fruit and wine sensory properties. The experimental design permitted …

Background The aim of the present work was to investigate the effect of early leaf removal
and cluster thinning treatments in the Mediterranean climate on berry growth and how these …

The effect of leaf area per unit weight of fruits on growth, composition, and coloration
ofTokay'grapes was investigated on vines in which the crop level was adjusted by pruning or …
