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.
