Effects of forchlorfenuron (CPPU) and girdling on table grape cultivars "Perlette" and "Italia"
Year: 2000
Type: article
Abstract: A study was conducted to determine the effects of post-bloom applications of forchlorfenuron (CPPU) at 5 and 10 ppm, and the practice of cane girdling on fruit quality of two table grape cultivars (cvs.) « Perlette » (seedless) and « Italia » (seeded). For « Perlette » cv, CPPU treatments increased significantly berry weight and crop per vine, relatively to the control. However, soluble solids decreased while the acidity increased, reflecting a late maturation of berries from the treated vines. The delay of fruit maturity was also observed in « Italia » grapes, measured by a significant decrease in fruit soluble solids content. Girdling had a slight and non significant effect on fruit quality for both cvs.
