Other claims from this paper (5)
- Intervention effect Berry or cluster thinning decreased total fruit weight of Seyval blanc grapevines.
- Intervention effect Titratable acidity and pH of the juice were not consistently affected by berry or cluster thinning.
- Association Net leaf photosynthesis at 43 days past full bloom increased with higher cluster number per plant.
- Intervention effect Berry weight was greatest when the crop was borne in three clusters per shoot rather than in a single cluster.
- Recommendation The authors conclude berry thinning appears an acceptable substitute for cluster thinning for crop reduction of Seyval blanc grapes.
