“…In particular, our trial was carried out in 2018 to 2019 whereas, for Sardinia, the trials were carried out from 2005 to 2007 and the climatic conditions of the seasons could have affected the results since climatic variations have a strong effect on yield and the quality of table grape varieties [36]. With regards to the viticultural practices, the pruning intensity, from 6 to 14 buds left, can influence the potential fertile buds, as reported for Midnight Beauty ® in Brazil, where higher fertile buds were observed in the treatment with a bud load of 8-10 buds per cane [37]. A recent bud dissection study [32] with very long canes (30-nodes) of the Fiesta and Selma Pete varieties showed that nodes in the middle of the cane were the most fruitful.…”

Microscopic bud dissection can be used to assess grapevine bud fruitfulness prior to winter pruning and long before actual bud fruitfulness can be measured in the vineyard the following spring. Bud dissections should be performed by qualified and trained personnel because inflorescence primordia are difficult to distinguish in some varieties. In the Puglia region, Southeastern Italy, in 2018 and 2019, potential fruitfulness using bud dissection and actual fruitfulness observed in the vineyard were compared for seventeen table grape varieties. The percentage of fertile buds, the number of inflorescence primordia (IP) per node, and the incidence of primary bud necrosis (PBN) were detected with bud dissection to be used either for managing winter pruning or for predicting yield during the successive season. The data were successively compared with fertile buds and actual bud fruitfulness observed in the vineyard during spring. The table grape varieties examined had similar values of fertile buds and fruitfulness both with bud dissection and in the vineyard. The application of longitudinal sections in bud dissections can be an alternative approach (or can be integrated into traditional cross sections) to distinguish IP in some difficult varieties, but the two techniques can be used together for more repeatable results. The bud dissection technique (with both cross and longitudinal sections) can provide useful insights for viticulturist to help guide winter pruning (intensity of pruning and number of canes) and to predict potential yield.

“…Depending on the genotype, long cane pruning may result too in poor shoot renewal lowering yield next season. On the contrary, combined pruning allows usually sufficient and stable yield and at the same time good shoot renewal [21]. A fundamental difference between pitaya and table grape and kiwi vines is that these latter are deciduous, while pitaya maintains reserves in the evergreen cladodes.…”

Comparing Different Methods for Pruning Pitaya (Hylocereus undatus)

Recently there have been new trends in global consumption toward fresh foods that are sources of healthy bioactive compounds, as is the case with pitaya. However, pitaya cultivation is a relatively recent phenomenon and little is known about its management. The objective of this work is to determine the most appropriate annual fruiting pruning method for pitaya in order to obtain a regular annual yield of quality fruit and an intense shoot renewal that guarantee future production. This study compared the response of Hylocereus undatus to spur, cane, and combined pruning. As control plants, we left some plants where only sanitary pruning was performed. The results indicate that spur pruning greatly reduced flowering (seven times less than controls) and did not promote intense vegetative growth. Cane pruning, on the contrary, allowed greater flowering which is compatible with a higher number of new shoots (8% more than controls). The vigor of the new shoots was equal in all treatments. Fruit size and quality did not differ either among treatments. Spur pruning only seems applicable as a rejuvenation pruning. Combined pruning gave an intermediate response and seems of no interest given the good shoot renewal provided by cane pruning. Performing sanitary pruning alone may be an interesting option, but only in the first years of cultivation.

“…Therefore, carrying out a study to optimize winter pruning in different grape cultivars has a great help in improving the quantitative and qualitative characteristics of the product. The grape tree is one of the most pruneable fruit trees, and in fact, the amount of grape fruit harvest has a direct relationship with pruning (Feitosa et al 2018;Friend and Trought 2007). The present study was carried out with the aim of evaluating and comparing the appearance and biochemical characteristics of some cultivars of Dokshor grapes and optimizing the intensity of winter pruning in some cultivars of Afghan grapes.…”

The objectives of this study were to determine whether bud pruning severity impacts some pomological traits of white and red varieties of table grapes. Vine canes were pruned to 3 or 6 buds in 12-year-old vines in conventional systems. Results revealed that number of bunches, bunch weight, bunch width, number of shot berries, and berries per bunch was significantly (p<0.05) affected by the bud pruning, whereas bud pruning had no significant effect on bunch length. In general, moderate bud pruning can enhance the nutritional quality of table grapes.
