| Abstract | ||||
| Mature Superior grapevine were pruned at dormant seasons of 2005 and 2006 leaving different cane shape and thickness on the vine to evaluate the suitable one which retained on the vine at winter pruning in order to obtain higher yield with good quality. The data presented that retained thick round cane with about 13.5 mm gave a higher bud burst, fertility and yield/vine than leaving normal cane with diameter about 10.3 mm. Furthermore, leaving diverted flat cane to thinn round cane (9.2 mm) at winter pruning was suitable than flat cane on the vine. Since, these canes were higher bud fertility, fruitfulness and yield/cane. Whereas, leaving different cane thickness on the vine presented unpronounced effect of SSC, total acidity and SSC/acid ratio in berry juice of Superior grapes. | ||||
