Creator:: Brasher, Erik W.
Abstract:: Crop thinning trials were studied during two seasons at two locations in the northern Willamette Valley of Oregon. At Willakenzie Estate (site #1), research vines were Pinot noir clone Dijon 113 on 3309 rootstocks trained to a double Guyot. Vines were established in 1996 at a spacing of 2.5 x...

Abstract:: A broad range of factors influences wine grape quality and its manipulation has stimulated interest among grape growers, wine makers, and research scientists alike. One such factor affecting wine grape quality is crop level, particularly for Pinot noir. Since the capacity of a vine to ripen fruit depends largely on...

Abstract:: Vineyard acreage in Oregon continues to increase at a rapid pace. In the past two years alone 1600 acres of new vineyard land have been planted (Rowley et al., 2000). Much of this has been on phylloxera-resistant rootstocks. This practice is strongly encouraged, since it is the only practical way...

Abstract:: Objectives of proposed research: 1. Investigate the relationship between abscisic acid (ABA) and auxins and the regulation of carbon partitioning. 2. Investigate the origin of ABA present in the fruit during ripening and attempt to modify the partitioning pattern through manipulation of endogenous ABA levels using mefluidide (ABA biosynthesis promoter)...

Creator:: Shaffer, Raymond Glen
Abstract:: This study reports finding of two rootstock experiments planted in 1997. The purpose of the first experiment was to evaluate the performance of Pinot noir on 19 phylloxera-resistant rootstocks and as an ungrafted vine. The purpose of the second experiment was to evaluate the performance of V. Vinifera cultivars Pinot...

Abstract:: The purpose of this study was to determine the relative tolerance of grafted Vitis rootstocks to low soil pH. In this capacity, the data may be pooled with results from previous investigations to increase the overall aptitude profile of Vitis rootstocks. A potential application of this information is that the...

Creator:: Howe, Jessica
Abstract:: This study integrates various vineyard practices that may improve nitrogen availability to the vine, particularly during ripening. Different strategies aimed at increasing yeast assimilable nitrogen in the fruit at harvest have been evaluated. This study seeks to improve fermentation behavior and wine quality through vineyard practices used for nitrogen management....
