- Intervention effect Shoot tipping increased fruit set, berries per cluster and cluster weight.
- Intervention effect Shoot tipping increased yield per shoot and yield to pruning ratio.
- Intervention effect Shoot tipping increased main and lateral leaf size and lateral contribution to total leaf area.
- Intervention effect Tipping decreased total yield per vine, juice pH and leaf area per vine.
- Intervention effect Tipping decreased pruning and cane weight and dormant trunk sugars.
- Intervention effect Longer lateral shoots increased juice soluble solids, juice pH and skin anthocyanins.
- Intervention effect Longer lateral shoots increased cane weight and dormant trunk carbohydrates.
- Intervention effect Cluster zone leaf removal had no impact on yield components.
- Intervention effect Cluster zone leaf removal reduced juice soluble solids.
