Research Project:
INFLUENCE OF CLUSTER SPRAYS ON POSTHARVEST TABLE GRAPE QUALITY
Location: Commodity Protection and Quality
Project Number: 5302-43000-032-11
Project Type:
Trust
Start Date: May 01, 2008
End Date: Apr 30, 2009
Objective:
Improve the quality and storage life of table grapes by the application of sprays directed into grape clusters in vineyards before harvest.
Approach:
In repeated cluster-directed applications between fruit set and harvest, apply calcium salts, hormonal treatments, reduced-risk fungicides, biological control agents, and other compounds before harvest, then determine their influence postharvest quality (color, texture, maturity, size) and decay (natural incidence of diseases, after artificial inoculation) of table grapes.
