Other claims from this paper (14)
- Intervention effect Defoliation initially delayed Cabernet Sauvignon berry growth.
- Intervention effect Defoliation slightly affected Cabernet Sauvignon yield parameters at the end.
- Intervention effect Defoliation did not modify Vranac berry growth or weight.
- Intervention effect Cluster thinning did not affect berry weight in either cultivar.
- Intervention effect Combined defoliation and thinning reduced cluster weight, berry weight and berries per cluster.
- Observation Cabernet Sauvignon was more reactive to treatments than Vranac.
- Observation No sunburn-damaged bunches were found after defoliation.
- Intervention effect Early defoliation and cluster thinning increased soluble solids relative to control.
- Intervention effect Treatments increased anthocyanin and proanthocyanidin concentrations.
- Intervention effect Combined treatment had the highest skin anthocyanin and proanthocyanidin content.
- Observation Defoliation alone followed combined treatment in anthocyanin and proanthocyanidin content.
- Mechanism In Vranac, higher compound content per berry resulted from increased synthesis.
- Mechanism In Cabernet Sauvignon, higher compound content per berry was attributed to lower berry weight.
- Observation Wines from defoliated grapes had the best reported characteristics.
