Visando à produção de vinho e suco de uva de melhor qualidade, o objetivo desta pesquisa foi aumentar a relação de sólidos solúveis totais/acidez total titulável (SST/ATT), conhecida como flavor, da uva 'Bordô', com o uso de reguladores vegetais e avaliar os efeitos destes produtos nas demais características físico-químicas dos frutos. O trabalho foi realizado durante duas safras, 2009/2010 e 2010/2011, em Bocaiuva do Sul-PR. As variáveis físicas analisadas foram: comprimento e largura dos cachos; diâmetro das bagas; número de bagas por cacho; massa dos cachos e bagas; e número de sementes por baga. As variávies químicas foram: sólidos solúveis totais (SST); acidez total titulável (ATT); pH e SST/ATT. A aplicação de GA3 a 100 mg L-1 propiciou melhoria da qualidade dos frutos para a produção de vinho e suco de uva, além de maior desenvolvimento dos frutos.
Vineyards of ‘Niagara Rosada’ have shown great productive potential. However, the grape production has been affected by factors related to climate adversities. Thus, this study aimed to evaluate the effect of plastic cover and bagging of bunches of ‘Niagara Rosada’, in Almirante Tamandaré, PR, Brazil. Plastic cover used was of polyethylene with 250 µm of thickness and bagging of the bunches with white non-woven fabric bags. The treatments were: without plastic cover over the vineyard and without bagging of bunches (control); with plastic cover over the vineyard and without bagging of bunches; with plastic cover over the vineyard and with bagging of bunches; and without plastic cover over the vineyard and with bagging of bunches. To determine the quality of the grapes, we evaluated weight of the bunches and berry, width and length of the bunch, number of berries per bunch, total soluble solids (SS), titratable acidity (TA), pH, and SS/TA ratio. In both crop seasons, treatments with the protected plants or bunches were superior in all evaluated traits. The plastic cover and bagging of bunches delayed maturation and improved the physical and chemical characteristics of bunches and berries of ‘Niagara Rosada’.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
