The growers were advised
to maintain the appropriate number of shoots per vine based on the
availability of the irrigation.
Use of rootstock in near future
for the establishment of new vineyard was also brought to their notice.
Under the shortage of
water the growers were advised to make only straight canes.
This was mainly due to the
congenial condition developed in overcrowded canopy. Removal of excess
shoots from individual vines to avoid build up of microclimate in the
canopy was suggested to the growers of the region.
Reduction in the
fruitfulness was mainly due to shortage of irrigation water. Since there
was no enough irrigation available to irrigate the vineyard, fertilizers
like Phosphorus required for the fruit bud differentiation was not applied
resulted in reduced fruitfulness.
To avoid the reduction in
the quality and mummification, the growers were advised to retain the
bunches as per the spacing available per vine.
The growers were advised
to prune the vineyard before the new growth starts. This can avoid the
wastage of reserve food material from the developed canes.
