Abstract

The bud load influences the number of the fruitful shoots, fertility and productivity coefficients, total harvest, as well as the quality of the bunches, chemical composition, mechanical characteristics, transportability, and storage ability of the grapes. The quality of the grapes is decisively influenced by plant formation, pruning length, and soil and climatic conditions of the groüing area. In this study, we investigated the influence of pruning length on the process of sugar accumulation in the juice of the Gara Shany local table grape variety grown on the Absheron peninsula, Azerbaijan. The pruning was performed in different lengths: 2, 4, 6, 8, and 10 buds. The highest sugar accumulation was noticed in the variants with pruning length for 6 and 8 buds. The highest productivity was also noted in these variants. The results allow us to recommend pruning the Gara Shany variety to 6 or 8 buds.

Keywords: Pruning Length, Sugar Accumulation, Productivity.
