Influence of deficit irrigation and kaolin particle film on grape composition and volatile compounds in Merlot grape (Vitis vinifera L.)

Particle films and their applications in horticultural crops

“…PF treated 'Cabernet Sauvignon' grape exhibited increase in berry weight, berry juice, malic and citric acid along with increases to sucrose and glucose concentrations (Cooley et al, 2008). Total amount of berry anthocyanins were increased by PF application (Ou et al, 2010), yet Song et al (2012) noticed no influence of PF on 'Merlot' grape. In tomato, kaolin treatment increased lycopene content by 16%, but did not affect total soluble solid content, fruit dry matter, juice pH, titratable acidity or tomato fruit firmness (Cantore et al, 2009).…”

Influence of cluster zone leaf removal on Pinot noir grape chemical and volatile composition

“…The leaf removal treatments had no influence on concentrations of the C 6 compounds (free and bound forms) over the 3 years of the study (Table 5). Others have linked C 6 compounds with maturity of the berry, demonstrating decreases in C 6 compounds with increasing fruit maturity (Mendez-Costabel et al, 2014;Pedneault, Dorais, & Angers, 2013;Song, Shellie, Wang, & Qian, 2012). Since the fruit did not vary in basic ripeness or in crop load (Ravaz), it is understandable why there were no differences in the C 6 compounds at harvest.…”

Water Table Control for Increasing Yield and Saving Water in Cranberry Production

“…In Florida, sugar yield from sugarcane plants was significantly lower when the WTD was 75 cm in comparison with 45 cm [29]. Deficit irrigation increased TSS and TAcy in grapevines in Chile [30] and in U.S.A. [31], as is generally known to do, but another study concluded to the contrary in Italy [32]. Based on the first criteria, the average WTD should be 60 cm for increasing crop yield without negatively affecting yield quality.…”
