AB  - Dipping clusters of &#039;Perlette&#039; and &#039;Thompson Seedless&#039; into various concentrations of three wettingagent formulations had toxic effects on berry surfaces. Low concentrations resulted in a 1ight &quot;ring scarring.&quot; With increasing concentrations of wetting agents, heavy &quot;ring scarring,&quot; &quot;buckskin-type&quot; corky areas, and reduction of berry size occurred. The most severe injury consisted of small berries often entirely covered with cork, sometimes splitting, and in many cases berries died. &#039;Perlette&#039; grapes were more sensitive to injury than were &#039;Thompson Seedless.&#039;
