Abstract:
A field experiment on effect of cane regulation and crop load on quality parameters of wine grape cv. Chenin Blanc was carried out during 2017-2018 at grape orchard, MHREC, UHS, Bagalkot. Vines with 25 canes, recorded significantly the maximum content of TSS (22.54 ^o Brix), TSS to acid ratio (83.46), brix yield (7.55 ^o Brix) and total sugar (19.28%).With reference to the different levels of bunch thinning with respect to quality parameters. Vines with 20 bunches, recorded significantly the maximum content of TSS (22.55 ^o Brix), TSS to acid ratio (80.25), brix yield (7.02^o Brix) and total sugar (18.99%). In interaction, the highest TSS (242.88 ^o Brix) and total sugar (19.33%) was recorded in Chenin Blanc regulated at 25 canes/vine with 20 bunches/vine treatment.
