“…Nevertheless, very little is known about the effects of hailstorms on crops. Indeed, numerous studies have been conducted on the effects of simulated hail damage on different crops [6][7][8][9], but the effects of natural hail have scarcely been investigated [10,11].…”

Effects of Natural Hail on the Growth, Physiological Characteristics, Yield, and Quality of Vitis vinifera L. cv. Thompson Seedless under Mediterranean Growing Conditions

Hailstorms are typically localized events, and very little is known about their effect on crops. The objective of this study was to examine the physiological and vine performance responses to natural hail, registered four weeks after full bloom, of field-grown Thompson seedless (Vitis vinifera L.) grapevines, one of the most important table grape varieties cultivated in Greece and especially in the Corinthian region in northeastern Peloponnese. Leaf gas exchange, vegetative growth, vine balance indices, cane wood reserves, yield components, and fruit chemical composition were recorded from hail-damaged vines and compared with control vines. Visibly, the extent of the hailstorm damage was great enough to injure or remove leaves as well as cause partial stem bruising and partial injury or total cracking of berries. Our results indicated that natural hail did not affect leaf photosynthesis, berry weight, total acidity, and cane wood reserves but significantly reduced the total leaf area, yield, and the total phenolics of berries at harvest. At the same time, hail-damaged vines increased the leaf area of lateral canes and presented a higher total soluble solid (TSS) accumulation, while no effect on the next year’s fertility was registered. The present work is the first attempt to enhance our understanding of the vegetative yield, berry quality, and physiological responses of grapevines to natural hail, which is an extreme and complex natural phenomenon that is likely to increase due to climate change.

“…There are a number of other studies in the literature on the effect of hail damage on various crops, such as apple (Tartachnyk and Blanke, 2002), cranberry (Wells and MacManus, 2013), potato (Jalali, 2013), maize (Miya et al, 2017).…”

A study was performed to determine the response and the ability to recover cultivar Storgozia after the extreme meteorological phenomenon mesocyclone registered in May 2018, accompanied by intense hail and hurricane wind. The hail damage impact on the actual fertility elements, the growing strength and the degree of shoots ripening, the yield quantitative and qualitative indicators, and the grape's chemical composition had been determined for the achieving of the objective. The study found that the damages by hail on the green parts of the vine in 2018 did not have a negative impact on the process of formation of inflorescences in the winter eyes and did not affect the vine productivity of cv. Storgozia in the following year. The damages caused by hail at the beginning of the growing season had little effect on the growing strength and the degree of shoot ripening. The leaves and leaf area (1.36 m 2 ) of the main shoots are proven to be smaller in size in the year with hail, compared to the other two years, which reflects on the size of the leaves (3.38 m 2 ) and leaf area of the lateral shoots, which are proven to be larger after the registered hail. The total leaf area per vine had remained almost the same in all three years, as the difference was only in the leaf area ratio of the main and lateral shoots in 2018 that did not result in disruption of the vital for the vine plant physiological and biochemical processes in the leaves. Hail had a considerable negative effect on the structure of the cluster, the berry size, the yield per vine. The overall assessment of the quality of the grapes from the three harvests shows that with varying degrees of evidence for the individual indicators, hail has a significant adverse effect on its chemical composition in terms of sugar, titratable acids, anthocyanins, and phenolic compounds.

“…Injuries to the plant may result from weather conditions. Hail can readily damage fruit, and it is useful to apply a protectant fungicide without delay when such injury occurs (Wells and McManus, 2013). Care during picking and handling is essential, and fruit should be picked with its stalk intact (Zhu et al, 2016).…”

Peach is a temperate fruit and is grown in various edaphoclimatic settings worldwide. Brown rot, caused primarily by Monilinia spp. is one of the most destructive peach diseases. The disease results in severe pre-harvest and post-harvest losses. More than half of the world’s post-harvest losses of peach can be attributed to brown rot disease. Despite the widespread adoption of management strategies such as pruning, removing fruit mummies, eliminating wild plums, chemical control remains an effective strategy for managing brown rot disease. However, environmental and human health impacts of chemical control and fungicides resistance consequences, these management tactics tend to be re-evaluated. The aim of this review is to comprehensively sum up the available information on the taxonomy, distribution, epidemiology, symptomology, molecular and morphological characterization of brown rot disease, and to date management approaches. However, fast paced current research on brown rot disease of peach management should be carefully updated for the full-proof control of the fungi. Nevertheless, more research and review of the information regarding various aspects of diseases management exclusively biocontrol agents are needed to exploit their actual potential, which is the salient objective of this review. This review will open new avenues giving future prospects and research agenda to the scientists working on this serious pathosystem of peach.
