Table and driedgrapes: High productivity and high quality not mutually exclusive goals in driedgrape production

摘要

DRIED VINE FRUIT PRODUCERS can apply sufficient nitrogen to meet a Sultana vine's needs without affecting the colour of their fruit once it is in storage, a four-year trial has found. The trial formed part of the CRCV project "Enhanced vineyard productivity through development and adoption of superior vineyard nutrient management strategies". It was conducted at NSW Agriculture's Agricultural Research and Advisory Station at Dareton in the Murray Valley by Dr Ayalsew Zerihun, a CRCV Postdoctoral Fellow under the supervision of Dr Michael Treeby of CSIRO Plant Industry based at Merbein in Victoria. The trial has been completed and Dr Zerihun is now with NSW Department of Primary Industries.
