Other claims from this paper (11)
- Association Abnormal growth in grape vines correlated with pruning effects on leafing time.
- Association Early January pruning followed by early leafing was associated with abnormal early-season growth.
- Intervention effect Early January pruning reduced grape yield by 39 per cent over five years.
- Observation The pruning-time effect on abnormal growth occurred without grape bud mites.
- Intervention effect Late March pruning was followed by virtually normal growth.
- Observation Mataro buds near a pruning wound leafed very early and developed severe abnormal growth during a winter response period.
- Mechanism The authors attribute abnormal growth to a temporary early-season boron deficiency.
- Intervention effect Soil borax applications alleviated grape symptoms.
- Intervention effect Soil borax applications increased grape yield.
- Intervention effect Soil borax applications elevated boron in grape leaves above the deficiency range.
- Recommendation The authors recommend reinvestigating abnormal growth attributed to bud mites for temporary boron deficiency.
