Influence of cane diameter on gross profit

Abstract

Mark Eltom, from New Zealand’s Lincoln University, Department of Wine, Food & Molecular Biosciences; together with Chris S. Winefield, and Mike C.T. Trought have been studying how cane diameter and structure influence the gross return to growers. This report is based on their paper “Effects of shoot girdling and/or periodic leaf removal on inflorescence primordia initiation and development in Vitis vinifera L. cv. Sauvignon Blanc”, portions of which have previously been published in the Australian Journal of Grape and Wine Research and Practical Winery & Vineyard.
