Title: Influence Over a Ten-Year Period of Training System on Yield and Fruitfulness of Table Grape Cultivars
Authors: D. Wolfe and G.R. Brownn
Abstract:
Twenty Grape cultivars [Vitis species, (L.)
Batch], planted Spring, 1983, were trained to
the four-cane Kniffin (KN) and to the Geneva
Double Curtain (GDC) system over a ten-year
period.
Yield per vine, pruning weight, number
of nodes, cluster weight, berry number per
cluster, berry weight, and percent fruit soluble
solids were recorded annually through 1993.
Across cultivars, vines trained to the GDC averaged 2 kg more yield per vine per year than
vines trained to the KN. Yield per noae and the
number of clusters per vine also were greater
for vines trained to the GDC system.
