EFFECT OF BORON and MOLYBDENUM FOLIAR SPRAYS ON GROWTH, YIELD AND FRUIT QUALITY OF "SUPERIOR" GRAPEVINE (Vitis vinifera L).

Year: 2009

Type: article

Abstract: This investigation was carried out during two successive seasonsof 2007 and 2008 to study the effect of boron and molybdenum foliarsprays on growth, yield, berry quality and some chemicalconstituents of "Superior" grapevine cultivar. The vines were grownin loamy sand soil. The treatments were (control, B 100 ppm, B 200ppm, Mo 50 ppm, Mo 100 ppm, B 100 ppm + Mo 50 ppm, B 100ppm + Mo 100ppm, B 200 ppm + Mo 50 ppm and B 200 ppm + Mo100 ppm. Generally, it was found that all treatments increased leafarea, shoot length, cane thickness, cluster weight(g), fresh and dryweight(g) of 100 berries compared with control. Yield per vine alsoincreased by all treatments except Mo 50ppm. On the other hand, Motreatments reduced total sugars (%) and TSS in berries. Aciditypercentage in fruit juice decreased by foliar spray of boron andmolybdenum. Total Carbohydrates, total chlorophyll, carotenoids, N,P, K, Fe, Zn and Mn in leaves increased by boron and molybdenumfoliar spray.
