Michele Palieri (Vitis vinifera L.) üzüm çeşidinde yaprak alma ve uç alma uygulamalarının omca verimi ve sürgün özelliklerine etkileri

Aims: The aim of the research was to determine the effects of topping and leaf removal at different times of growing period on shoot characteristics and yield in Michele Palieri grapevines. Methods and Results: This research was conducted in Tekirdag-Karaevli. Michele Palieri/110R grafting combination was used as plant material in a vineyard. The research was conducted in 2018-2019 and 2019-2020 vegetation periods. There were 3 different application periods (Berry Set, Bunch Closure, Veraison) and 4 different summer pruning applications (Control, No Leaf Removal-Topping, Leaf Removal-No Topping, Leaf Removal-Topping) in the study. Conclusions: Leaf Removal-No Topping applications in Bunch Closure phenological period positively effected shoot characteristics and yield. As a result, to improve the yield and shoot characteristics of Michele Palieri grape variety in Tekirdağ by ensuring the balanced shoot development, thus obtaining high quality table grapes, Leaf Removal-No Topping application in the Bunch Closure period can be proposed. Significance and Impact of the Study: With this research, the effects of different leaf removal and topping applications and the periods of these applications on shoot characteristics of the Michele Palieri grape variety grown in Tekirdağ conditions were determined. In addition, the effect level of efficiency from these applications was determined. In this way, suggestions were made to table grape growers.
