Rootstock effects on salt tolerance of irrigated field-grown grapevines (Vitis vinifera L. cv. Sultana).: 1. Yield and vigour inter-relationships

Vegetative growth and yield of grapevines grown in the field on their own roots or grafted to a range of rootstocks were investigated under drip irrigation with water of three salinity levels (0.40, 1.75 and 3.50 dS/m) over a five‐year period. Rootstocks were Ramsey, 1103 Paulsen, J17–69 and 4 hybrids (designated R1, R2, R3 and R4) derived from parentage involving Vitis champini, V. berlandieri and V. vinifera. Of measured yield components (bunches per shoot, bunches per vine, weight per bunch, weight per berry and total yield), only weight per berry was significantly reduced by high salinity (3.50 dS/m) in each year of the trial with the exception of Sultana on 1103 Paulsen and R2 in 1991 and Sultana on Ramsey in 1993. Weights of one‐year‐old pruning wood were also reduced by high salinity in all years for own roots and all rootstocks, with the exception of R2. Mean yield values at each salinity level over the five‐year period of the trial were highest for Sultana on Ramsey, 1103 Paulsen and R2. High salinity had no effect on five‐year mean yields of Sultana on Ramsey, 1103 Paulsen and R2. Yield (five‐year means) of Sultana on Ramsey and R2 at 1.75 dS/m were significantly higher than at 0.40 dS/m by 14.6% and 13.4% respectively. In contrast, 5‐year mean yields of Sultana on J17–69, own roots, R1, R3 and R4 at 3.50 dS/m were reduced by 54, 30, 20, 30 and 30% respectively. Yield of Sultana on J17–69, R1 and R4 rootstocks was reduced by 47, 20 and 24% respectively at 1.75 dS/m. When yield was regressed against bunches per vine and weight per bunch for Sultana on own roots and on Ramsey rootstock, bunches per vine was the main determinant of yield, while weight per berry showed a poor correlation with yield at all salinity levels. Rootstock ranking for salt tolerance based on yield at high salinity was the same as rankings for pruning wood weights at high salinity. The same occurred at medium salinity, demonstrating that vigour imparted by the rootstock was a major factor in Sultana salt tolerance as measured by yield. Mean root weighted soil saturation paste electrical conductivities (RWEC_e) (determined from soil saturation paste salinities and root length densities) were in the range 2.0–2.6 dS/m for the low salinity treatment, increasing to approximately 5.4 dS/m with increasing salinity of irrigation water. Yield reduction for own‐rooted vines for each 1.0 dS/m increase in RWEC_e above 2.6 dS/m was 9.3%.

以赤霞珠四种砧穗组合（CS/Beta、CS/140Ru、CS/1103P、CS/5BB）为试材,采用固相微萃取法（SPME）结合气相色谱-质谱（GC-MS）联用技术,研究不同砧木对赤霞珠干红葡萄酒香气成分影响,为生产上筛选适宜砧木提供理论依据。结果表明,不同砧穗组合香气总量高低顺序为：CS/5BB＞CS/Beta＞CS/1103P＞CS/140Ru;砧穗组合CS/Beta醇类化合物含量最高,为5 067.88 μg/L,砧穗组合CS/5BB酯类、酸类、萜烯类化合物含量最高,分别为9 406.61 μg/L、280.41 μg/L、203.75 μg/L;砧穗组合CS/1103P醛酮类化合物含量最高,为418.70 μg/L。结果表明,砧木5BB、Beta在提升赤霞珠干红葡萄酒香味中有促进作用,是葡萄优质嫁接栽培中的备选砧木。     

砧木对酿酒葡萄生长和结果状况的影响

以SO4、5BB两种砧木与宁夏主栽的赤霞珠、美乐、霞多丽进行绿枝嫁接,研究砧木对酿酒葡萄生长、果实品质的影响。结果表明,对于同一接穗品种,以5BB为砧木越冬保存率高,接穗与砧木增粗的速度接近,亲和性更好。SO4和5BB两种砧木显著增加赤霞珠葡萄的单粒质量,但对3个品种的穗质量没有明显影响。5BB做砧木提高霞多丽、赤霞珠可溶性固形物含量,降低霞多丽、美乐可滴定酸含量;以SO4为砧木显著降低3个品种可溶性固形物含量,提高赤霞珠酸含量。综合来看,以5BB为砧木可提高果实品质,而SO4为砧木降低果实品质或推迟成熟。     

Impact of rootstock on yield and ion concentrations in petioles,juice and wine of Shiraz and Chardonnay in different viticultural environments with different irrigation water salinity

Background and Aims: Within-site comparisons were made of rootstock effects on yield, and chloride and sodium concentrations in petioles, juice and wine of Shiraz and Chardonnay vines at sites with irrigation water salinities (EC_iw) ranging from low (0.4 dS/m) to moderate-high (1.8 to 3.3 dS/m). It also compared consistency of yield performance of the various rootstocks with both scions over 8 years at one site with an EC_iw of 2.1 dS/m. Methods and Results: Chardonnay and Shiraz on own roots and on Ramsey, 1103 Paulsen, 140 Ruggeri, K51-40, Schwarzmann, 101-14, Rupestris St. George and 1202 Couderc were compared. Ramsey resulted in better yields relative to most of the other rootstocks at three of the four sites for each scion. Exceptions were the low salinity site where Schwarzmann was best with Chardonnay, and Padthaway where 140 Ruggeri was best with Shiraz. Chardonnay wine chloride concentrations were similar to grape juice chloride concentrations, but Shiraz wine chloride concentrations were on average 1.7-fold higher than grape juice chloride. Conclusions: Shiraz on own roots, K51-40 and 1202C rootstocks carry some risk of accumulating unacceptable levels of chloride in grape juice and wine when the salinity of the irrigation water is at moderate to high levels. Rootstocks K51-40 (with Chardonnay and Shiraz) and potentially 101-14 (with Shiraz) should be avoided in situations of long term irrigation with moderate to high salinity water. Significance of the Study: The study identifies rootstocks with acceptable yields and grape juice chloride concentrations for potential use in regions affected by salinity.

Delayed winter spur-pruning in New Zealand can alter yield components of Merlot grapevines

The effects of delayed winter spur-pruning on yield, yield components and fruit composition of Merlot vines was evaluated within a commercial vineyard in Marlborough, New Zealand. Vines were spur-pruned, trained using vertical shoot positioning, trickle irrigated and grafted to Kober 5BB rootstock. Delaying pruning from July (usual winter pruning time in New Zealand) until up to October (when apical shoots on canes were 5 cm long) resulted in yield increases of up to 93%, 63%, and 82% over the three seasons of experimentation. These yield increases reflected higher average berry weight and in turn bunch weights. The increase in average berry weight was associated with a change in the relative abundance of different berry types. Later pruning increased the proportion of large seeded berries while the proportion of smaller seedless berries and live green ovaries (shot berries) decreased. The delayed pruning may have enhanced fertilisation of flowers and development of seeds by postponing flowering to a time when climatic conditions are more favourable; measurements of shoot lengths support this proposal. By delaying winter pruning until after budburst the development of basal nodes was inhibited, so that budburst on the resulting spurs was also delayed.     

碱性土壤藤稔葡萄嫁接在不同砧木上的表现

在碱性土壤上,把藤稔嫁接在少毛变叶葡萄LDP-191、Ln33和巨峰砧木上,以藤稔自根苗为对照,研究了伤流产生和持续的时间、伤流总量和伤流成分,并在黄化发生期间调查黄化程度和测定叶绿素含量。成熟后对藤稔嫁接在3个砧木上的生产表现进行了对比。结果表明,藤稔嫁接在少毛变叶葡萄LDP-191、Ln33上经济性状和生理活性均优于自根藤稔和巨峰砧木;自根藤稔又优于巨峰砧木,表明在碱性土壤上,以少毛变叶葡萄LDP-191、Ln33做藤稔砧木要比以巨峰做藤稔砧木更为适宜。     

Effects of timing and rate of N supply on leaf nitrogen status, grape yield and juice composition from Shiraz grapevines grafted to one of three different rootstocks

Yeast cells have a minimum N requirement to ferment a must through to dryness, so that grape N content (hence must N) becomes critical in meeting that prerequisite. Viticultural practices aimed at meeting that N requirement are of special relevance because interactions between rootstock and vineyard nitrogen supply strongly influence scion mineral nutrient status as well as shoot vigour, and via those processes, fruit composition. Such outcomes were investigated in a field trial involving Shiraz on three rootstocks viz. Teleki 5C, Schwarzmann and Ramsey. Five N supply regimes, varying from 0 to 80 kg/(haseason), were imposed through a drip-irrigation system during two periods (either flowering to veraison, or post-harvest to leaf-fall, or both) over three successive growing seasons. Post-harvest N supply increased scion leaf N and nitrate N concentrations at flowering for vines on Teleki 5C and Schwarzmann. By veraison, N recently applied in the flowering to veraison period elevated these indicators of N status in all vines on all rootstocks. Grape yields from vines on Teleki 5C and Schwarzmann were elevated by N supply after harvest, whereas juice soluble solids levels were lowered. Free amino acids in Shiraz juice were dominated by non-assimilable N, amounting to about 50% or more of the total free amino-N in the juice. Increasing N supply increased free amino acid concentrations in the juice of berries from vines on all rootstocks, but only vines on Schwarzmann derived any benefit from N supplied after harvest. The highest concentrations of free amino acids were measured in the berries from vines on Schwarzmann receiving 80 kg N/(ha.season). Of immediate practical relevance for N management of Shiraz grapevines on either Teleki 5C or Ramsey rootstocks, the minimum value for assimilable free amino-N concentration required to ferment a must through to dryness was not achieved if vineyard N application was limited to the post-harvest period.     

Reproductive growth of grapevines in response to nitrogen supply and rootstock

Nitrogen fertiliser was applied at two rates (0 or 100 kg N/ha) to field-grown Müller-Thurgau grapevines grafted onto six rootstocks (Kober 5BB, Teleki 5C, Teleki 8B, Selection Oppenheim 4, Couderc 3309, Ruggeri 140). Half the nitrogen was applied four weeks pre-flowering and half at the end of flowering. Nitrogen supply reduced symptoms of inflorescence necrosis and improved fruit set, but increased bunch-stem necrosis, Botrytis cinerea bunch rot and yield. This was associated with reduced grape sugar, higher acidity and lower pH. Rootstocks had no significant effect on inflorescence necrosis, bunch-stem necrosis and bunch rot, but vines grafted on C-3309 and Ru-140 had both lowest yields and highest fruit quality. Nitrogen × rootstock interactions were rare and contributed little to total variance, suggesting that rootstock-induced differences in scion performance were, except for SO4, largely independent of soil nitrogen level.     

The effect of post-veraison water deficit on yield components and maturation of irrigated Shiraz (Vitis vinifera L.) in the current and following season

Given their perennial nature, grapevines can respond to deficit irrigation during both the current season as well as during the following season, even though full irrigation may have been restored during that second season. To define the cropping responses involved, three post-veraison irrigation treatments were imposed on spur, mechanically and minimally pruned Shiraz vines that were already receiving restricted water application using Partial Rootzone Drying (PRD). The treatments resulted in the vines receiving 1.25 ML per hectare pre veraison and the three irrigation treatments receiving 1.25, 0.65 and 0 ML of water per hectare in the post-veraison period. Water deficit during the current season reduced berry and bunch weight, and yield. Sugar concentration was reduced, and phenolic concentration increased when less water was applied, but anthocyanin concentration was unaffected. Although irrigation was returned to standard practice (PRD) in the following season, yield was reduced in accordance with deficit irrigation treatments the previous season. This reduction in yield was primarily caused by fewer bunches per vine, which in turn was a direct consequence of fewer shoots per vine (lower budburst). The lower crop load on the vines that had received restricted irrigation post-veraison in the previous season resulted in higher sugar and antho-cyanin concentrations in fruit the following season. Lighter pruning resulted in a greater number of smaller bunches comprising smaller berries. In both seasons the minimal pruning treatment delayed fruit maturity as measured by sugar accumulation. Post-veraison water deficit thus has the potential to impact on both yield and fruit composition during the current season as well as during the subsequent season.

Impact of node position and bearer length on the yield components in mechanically pruned Cabernet Sauvignon (Vitis vinifera L.)

Background and Aims: Bunch number per node or shoot varies significantly between seasons and is a major cause of yield variation. Varying total node numbers by pruning is the least expensive way to regulate yield. However, there is little information available on how varying bearer length (and thus node number) in a machine‐pruned canopy alters yield components. Methods and Results: The impact of bearer length on yield components was investigated in a mechanically pruned vineyard in Coonawarra, South Australia. Yield components were analysed according to the node position on the bearer at which the shoot arose. Both budburst and inflorescence number per node were highest at the distal node positions regardless of bearer length. When node positions two and three were located in the two most distal nodes made terminal by the pruning, they were significantly more fruitful than equivalent nodes on longer bearers. Shoots that arose from the two most distal node positions had the highest flower number per inflorescence and berry number per bunch. Conclusions: Budburst, and the number and size of the inflorescence and bunch were affected more by the node position at which the shoot occurred relative to the cut end of the bearer, than the position of the node from the base of the bearer. Significance of the Study: Our understanding of how pruning regimes impact on yield and how these pruning regimes may be modified to achieve a target yield has been improved.     

Rootstock response of Shiraz (Vitis vinifera) grapevines to dry and drip-irrigated conditions

The yield and growth of Vitis vinifera cv. Shiraz scions grafted onto seven rootstocks were compared with that of own-rooted vines in a shallow sandy soil that was free of nematodes and phylloxera in the Barossa Valley of South Australia. In the absence of irrigation, own-rooted vines yielded as much fruit as vines grafted on Ramsey, the highest-yielding unirrigated rootstock-scion combination. Scions grafted to the rootstocks 110R, K51–40, 1103P and Freedom yielded poorly without irrigation. The yield and growth of all vines increased significantly when a small volume of irrigation water (40–160 mm/annum) was applied; however, only scions grafted to Ramsey and Freedom rootstock yielded more fruit than own-rooted vines.     

Effects of partial rootzone drying on yield, ripening and berry ABA in potted Tempranillo grapevines with split roots

Our objective was to investigate whether grape berry growth and colour development is associated with variation in abscisic acid (ABA) levels during ripening under an irrigation regime of partial rootzone drying (PRD). The study was carried out using container‐grown Tempranillo grapevines (established as fruit‐bearing cuttings) with a split root system (occupying two contiguous pots) and grown under controlled conditions. Three irrigation treatments were imposed – a control (well watered), and two forms of deficit irrigation, viz. partial rootzone drying (PRD), and sustained deficit irrigation (SDI). Under SDI, a given volume of irrigation water was applied uniformly and simultaneously to both sides of the split roots of each vine. Under the PRD regime, the same total volume of irrigation was applied, but as separate allocations to each side of the split root system in turn, and alternating on a 10‐day cycle. Because both deficit treatments received the same total amount of irrigation water (about 50% of the volume applied to controls), we were able to distinguish between the effects of deficit irrigation per se, versus any specific impact PRD might be having on vine performance. Outcomes were as follows. Compared to well‐watered control vines, yield per plant, and weight per bunch were both reduced significantly under SDI, but were sustained close to control values under the PRD regime. SDI and PRD thus differed significantly in their respective impacts on vine performance, and comparing just these two forms of deficit irrigation, PRD resulted in greater yield, higher bunch weight, bigger leaf area and increased berry weight compared with the SDI treatment. Moreover, PRD also induced greater accumulation of skin anthocyanins at harvest, compared to SDI. Berry ABA concentration increased continuously throughout veraison, achieving a maximum at the end of this period. The increase of berry ABA concentration was earlier and faster in PRD than in SDI, which exhibited only a slight increase in berry ABA by the end of veraison. These distinctive responses to PRD compared to SDI imply that the alternating wet‐dry cycles of PRD, rather than simply a deficit irrigation, as in SDI, had a distinctive effect on growth, ripening and berry composition. Our data imply that these different responses might be related to ABA physiology, and especially to ABA levels in berries during ripening.
