Abstract
The present investigation was carried out during three successive seasons (2015, 2016 and 2017)to determine water requirement on growth, yield and fruit quality features of Flame seedless grapevines. In Aga, Dahlia Governorate, Egypt, the chosen vines were seven years old, planted in a clay soil, spaced 2.5×2 meters apart and irrigated by flood system, spur pruned, trained to the quadrilateral cordon and trellised by the pergola system. The vines were pruned during the second week of January with bud load (56 buds/vine).The work in the first year was considered as a preliminary trial and then the experiment proceeded with the same manner during the second and third seasons, respectively. Four levels of irrigation water as follows: irrigation with5000m3/Fadden (control), 4500m3/Fadden, 4000m3/Fadden and 3500m3/Fadden. Obtained results revealed that irrigation of Flame seedless grapevines with 4000m3/Fadden recorded the highest water use efficiency which it reflected in getting vegetative growth better, increasing yield/vine and improving berry quality attributes of Flame seedless grapevines in both seasons. From the obtained results, it can be recommended that Flame seedless grapevines irrigated with 4000m3/Fadden had the best results which it gained a good yield with high fruit quality attributes.
