“…Among these quality variables, berry cracking is an important and expensive problem when growing high quality fruit, especially table grapes. This problem is generally attributed to a sudden increase in water supply, although the lack of calcium in the fruit has also been pointed out as its cause (Opara et al, 1997). This was the reason for reducing the water amount at the postveraison phase in RDI treatments.…”

A field experiment was performed from 2006 through 2008, to evaluate the effect of a postveraison regulated deficit irrigation (RDI) on the yield and quality of the seedless table grape 'Autumn Royal', especially on berry cracking. Three irrigation treatments were applied: a control (T1), irrigated at 100% of the net irrigation requirements (NIR), and two RDI treatments (T2 and T3) irrigated as T1 except from postveraison till harvest, when different percentages of NIR were applied, 80 and 60% NIR in T2 and T3, respectively. Irrigation timing was split from one daily application Additional key words: berry cracking; fruit quality; light interception; seedless grape; soil ground cover; Vitis vinifera L.; water stress. ResumenRespuesta del cultivar 'Autumn Royal' de uva de mesa a un riego deficitario controlado en la fase de postenvero Desde 2006 a 2008 se realizó un ensayo de campo para conocer el efecto del RDI aplicado en postenvero en la producción y calidad de la uva de mesa apirena 'Autumn Royal', especialmente en el rajado de la baya. Se aplicaron tres tratamientos de riego: un control (T1), que recibió un 100% de las necesidades de riego netas (NIR), y dos tratamientos RDI (T2 y T3) regados como el T1 excepto en la fase desde envero a cosecha, que recibieron el 80 y 60% de las NIR (T2 y T3). Palabras clave adicionales: calidad del fruto; estrés hídrico; rajado de baya; suelo sombreado; uva apirena; Vitis vinifera L.

“…Considerable research effort has been devoted to identify the mechanism and practical solutions for rain-induced cracking of sweet cherries (Balbontín et al, 2013;Simon, 2006). Opara, Studman, and Banks (1997) reviewed splitting and cracking in fruits. Splitting pre-or postharvest in sweet cherries is assumed to be caused by a rapid water uptake resulting in a turgor pressure increase to a point beyond the expansion capability of the cherry cuticle (Christensen, 1996).…”

“…3). Flore and Dennis (1990) and Opara et al (1997) have reported fruit cracking was associated with water deficit, high temperature and low humidity in 'Cox's Orange pippin' apple. They also reported that the cracking in lemon was associated with sudden changes in weather.…”

“…Fruit cracking is a serious economic problem in many fruit crops and the severity of damage varies with the cultivar (Opara et al 1997). In sub-tropical parts of UttarakhandIndia, the main mango cultivars are 'Dashehari', 'Langra' and 'Chausa', of which 'Dashehari' was most sensitive to fruit cracking.…”
