Evaluation of the Carry-Over Effect of the “Crop-Forcing” Technique and Water Deficit in Grapevine ‘Tempranillo’

“Crop-forcing” is an effective technique to delay grape maturation a period of lower temperatures, and in this way, improve quality. Because the aggressiveness (removal leaves fruit reinitiate second vegetative cycle), it may affect level reserves could provoke progressive vine exhaustion. The aim present work evaluate short- medium-term evolution carbohydrate different plant organs effect “crop-forcing” under irrigation regimes on seasonal biomass production its distribution. study was carried out over four years (2017–2020), applying three consecutive (2017–2019) same vines two dates using strategies. application did not decrease root reserve levels either year or following year, but modify starch soluble sugar shoots some moments cycle during application. Total terms grams per treatments continued be so when no longer applied. percentage increased at expense productive organs.
