Effect of Pruning Severity on Fruit Bud Formation, Bunch and Berry Characters in Anab-e-Shahi Grapes (Vitis vinifera L)

Abstract

                                Preliminary investigations on the fruit bud initiation and differentiation in the variety Anab-e-Shahi revealed that under Coimbatore conditions, fruit bud initiation takes place about 45 days from pruning and that at the end of 100 days the differentiation of the inflorescence was complete. The differen- tiation of the floral parts took place only after bud burst in the subsequent season following pruning (Rajaram et al, 1964). A second study was taken up to observe the infiuence of severity of pruning on the initiation of fruit buds, and on certain aspects of growth, flowering, yield and bunch characters. The results of this study are presented in this paper.
