Pruning weights were increased in the sprinkler irrigated treatments only. 3) When winter irrigation was applied at a low (5 in), medium (10 in), and heavy (10 in winter + 5 ABSTRACT in summer) rate, vine yield, cluster weight, cluster counts, and berry weights increased significantly in the heaviest application (p &lt; .05). The pruning data showed a similar increase.Vineyard production was best accomplished by applying heavy amounts of winter irrigation. Limited summer drip and sprinkler irrigation was a successful means of vine maintenance, while the removal of fruiting canes was a poor method of managing non-irrigated vineyards.</style></abstract></record></records></xml>
