Other claims from this paper (9)
- Intervention effect Early defoliation reduced fruit set.
- Intervention effect Early defoliation reduced cluster compactness.
- Intervention effect Early defoliation reduced yield per shoot.
- Intervention effect Seasonal NCER per vine was slightly higher in non-defoliated vines than defoliated vines.
- Intervention effect Defoliated vines had higher NCER per unit area.
- Intervention effect Defoliation increased NCER per yield by 38% on a shoot basis.
- Intervention effect Defoliated vines showed advanced maturation.
- Intervention effect Defoliated vines showed improved must soluble solids concentration.
- Recommendation The authors call for further investigation of the mechanical viability of early defoliation.
