Berry Size of Thompson Seedless as Influenced by the Application of Gibberellic Acid and Cane Girdling
نویسنده
چکیده
The influence of GA3 application on the fruit quality and productivity of cane pruned Thompson seedless was evaluated. Four treatments applied were: GA3, Girdle, GA3 + Girdle and control with no GA3 and no girdle were used. GA3 or GA3 + Girdle berries resulted in heavier berries, hastened berry diameter, and produced larger berries in comparison to the control grapevine trees. In addition, bunch weight and length were increased, while number of berries per bunch was not affected by the applied treatments. Percentage of berry shattering was increased in all grapevine treatments compared to the control treatment. On the other hand, berry quality was improved by GA3 application as indicated by soluble solids and titratable acidity. It can be concluded that GA3 is an effective method for improving Thompson seedless grapevine berries compared with girdle treated bunches.

Effects of Exogenous Gibberellic Acid on Yield Components of ‘Askari’ Grape
Abstract The most important commercial use of gibberellin in horticulture is to improve the yield and marketability of table grapes. This experiment was conducted in order to evaluate the effect of different concentrations of gibberellic acid on yield components of five-year-old ʻAskariʼ seedless grapevines, based on a randomized complete block design. Gibberellic acid was sprayed on the folia...
متن کاملCluster and Berry Characteristics of Grapevine (Vitis vinifera L.) as Influenced by Thinning Agents and Gibberrelic Acid Applications
Some cultivars of grapevine have very compact cluster which adversely affect its quality and marketability. ‘Yaghouti’ is a commercial early table grape cultivar that has very compact clusters. The present study was conducted to assess the effects of mechanical and chemical thinning as well as GA3 application on cluster morphology and berry size of grapevine cv. ‘Yaghouti’. Treatments were chem...
