Other claims from this paper (11)
- Intervention effect Final vine size was 49% lower in low vigor plots than in high vigor plots.
- Intervention effect Yield was 62% lower in low vigor plots than in high vigor plots.
- Intervention effect Low vigor plots achieved much better and more complete grape maturity than high vigor plots.
- Intervention effect Stomatal conductance decreased to 0.03 in low vigor plots at pre-veraison.
- Observation Leaf water potential in low vigor vines reached quite limiting thresholds over summer.
- Observation Vine growth in low vigor plots was totally checked from flowering onward.
- Observation Spatial variability between vigor zones tends to be maintained over years.
- Recommendation A selective harvesting approach is justified by the spatial vigor variability in the vineyard.
- Recommendation Early season fertilization should be adjusted opposite to the logic for a low vigor level.
- Recommendation Real-time canopy spray is recommended in the vineyard.
- Observation Low vigor vines re-entered their standard low vigor classification after initially developing a bigger canopy.
