  • Harvest Pruning of Sultana Vines
    Vitis 6, 390-393 (1967) Horticultural Research Section, C. S. I. R. 0., Glen Osmond, South Australia Harvest pruning of Sultana vines by P. MAY and G. H. KERRIDGE For the harvesting -of sultana vines in the Murray Valley Irrigation areas of Australia, a large numlber of casual harvest hands is needed whose renumeration accounts for 27% of the total cost of producing dri,ed fruit (1). Also, providing and employing up to 4,000 of these casual worker.s raises many manageri.al problems. The present, paper is a preliminary account of -experiments on pruning sultana vines when the fruit is mature, aimed at reducing the manpower needed for harvest­ ing. Experiment 1 In 1957/58 .an experiment was carried out with mature ·sultana vines in the vineyard of the Horticultural Research Section, C'SIRO, Merbein, Victoria. It was designed as a 12 times replicated randomized block, applied to vines in four adjacent rows. Each plot consisted of three vines adjacent in the row. The vines were pruned and maintained according to normal field practice until the fruit was mature. At this stage four treatments were applied, namely control {unpruned), pruned on February 14, February 28, and March 14. Pruning (subsequently called harvest-pruning) consisted of cutting off the one-year-old canes, which carried most of the shoots and fruit, .about three to six inches from the crown, as is done during winter pruning. The cutting was done with pruning shears ,arud the canes, which had been wrapped around the trellis wire during winter pruning, were left in posHion.

  • Fertilization of Grapevines in California
    VEN 115 (Raisin and Table Grape Production) Review of Mineral Nutrition of grapevines and Fertilization Guidelines for California Vineyards Larry E. Williams Department of Viticulture and Enology University of California – Davis and Kearney Agricultural Center 9240 S. Riverbend Ave Parlier, CA 93648 e-mail: [email protected] Background Commonly observed grapevine deficiencies in California include those associated with nitrogen, potassium, zinc and boron (Christensen et al., 1978). Less common deficiencies include those of iron, magnesium and manganese. Lastly, toxic effects of nitrogen, chloride and boron have been observed in California vineyards. The major decision to be made in a vineyard fertilization management program is determining whether to fertilize? Many locations in the San Joaquin Valley and elsewhere in California have ground water pollution problems (Harter et al., 2012). The pollutants include, among others, nitrates. In addition, nitrogen management in agro-ecosystems can affect the production of nitrous oxide (N2O), a greenhouse gas (GHG). Therefore, a vineyard N fertilization program should try to minimize the leaching of mineral nutrients below the root zone and the production of GHGs. Once the decision to fertilize has been made the amount and when to apply the fertilizer must be determined. Fertilizers can be costly, and one can become more cost efficient if educated decisions regarding vineyard fertilizations are made. Assessing vineyard/vine mineral nutrient status There are various means to determine the need to fertilize grapevines. The observation of foliar and/or fruit mineral nutrient deficiencies on vines can be used. Unfortunately, these symptoms could indicate that the deficiency may already have caused a reduction in yield.

  • Turkish Sultana Raisins Exports Continuing Raisin Annual Turkey
    THIS REPORT CONTAINS ASSESSMENTS OF COMMODITY AND TRADE ISSUES MADE BY USDA STAFF AND NOT NECESSARILY STATEMENTS OF OFFICIAL U.S. GOVERNMENT POLICY Required Report - public distribution Date: 7/31/2018 GAIN Report Number: TR8020 Turkey Raisin Annual Turkish Sultana Raisins Exports Continuing Approved By: Elizabeth Leonardi, Agricultural Attaché Prepared By: Kubilay Karabina, Agricultural Specialist Report Highlights: Raisin production forecast in Turkey in MY 2018/19 is 295,000 MT, down slightly from MY 2017/18 due to quality issues from heavy rains during the late spring and summer in the Aegean region. Turkey exports more than 90 percent of its domestic raisin production due to stable demand from Europe for sultana variety raisins, though exports are expected to decrease to 250,000 MT in MY 2018/19 in parallel with the drop in production. The Turkish Grain Board announced the procurement price for raisins in September 2017 and procured 4,682 MT of raisins from farmers. Turkey Raisin Annual Report 2018 Production Turkey is one of the world’s major raisin producers and exporters with over 1,200 different grape varieties being grown in the country. Turkey produces approximately 4 million MT of fresh grapes for all purposes, including raisins. The Aegean region is the most important grape producer and mainly produces seedless grapes used for raisins. The Marmara region surrounding Istanbul as well as Central Anatolia and Southeast Anatolia produce table and wine grapes. Table grapes make up about 50 percent of production, whereas drying grapes make up 35 percent, and the remainder is used for the production of traditional products such as pestil (dried fruit snack), pekmez (grape molasses), and 10-15 is for alcoholic beverage production, such as raki and wine.

Pinking is the term used to describe the appearance of a salmon-red blush color that may appear in bottled white wines, produced solely from white grape varieties. It is perceived as an undesirable phenomenon for both, wine consumers and winemakers. Although with seasonal and regional variations, the pinking has been observed worldwide, with predominance in white wines produced from Vitis vinifera L. grape varieties. The pinking origin of S´ıria white grapes has been studied in detail and it has been shown that the origin of the pinking phenomenon in white wines from Vitis vinifera L. S´ıria grape variety are anthocyanins, mainly malvidin-3-O-glucoside. The minimum amount of anthocyanins needed for the visualization of the wine pink color was 0.3 mg/L.

    AMERICAN ASSOCIATION OF WINE ECONOMISTS AAWE WORKING PAPER No. 62 Business COMPARATIVE NETWORKS AND CLUSTERS IN THE WINE INDUSTRY Andrea Migone and Michael Howlett July 2010 www.wine-economics.org Comparative Networks and Clusters in the Wine Industry Andrea Migone and Michael Howlett Simon Fraser University Burnaby BC Canada V5A 1S6 [email protected] [email protected] 1 1. Introduction This article addresses the nature of wine clusters in international perspective bringing together two separate literatures, the cluster/networks one and the one on the development of the wine industry, to analyze the mechanisms of innovation that have emerged in the sector. The study of innovation is often linked to economic clusters (Niosi 2005; Wolfe and Lucas 2004a; 2005), both as an analytical tool and as a policy option in the fostering of innovation and development (Feser, Renski, and Goldstein 2008; OECD 1999; 2002; Palazuelos 2005), even if not all effects of clustering are positive (Palazuelos 2005). The wine industry has received extensive attention through the use of cluster analysis (Alvarez 2007; Aylward 2004; Mytelka and Goertzen 2004; McDermott 2007; Hickton and Padmore 2005; Larreina and Aguado 2008). In general terms, clusters have been used in a broad multidisciplinary fashion and the approach has been applied to a host of issues (Boschma 2005; Malmberg and Power 2005) but this has also contributed to a reduction of its analytical sharpness and has fostered the emergence of different meanings for what should be similar concepts (Martin and Sunley 2003; see also Feser, Renski, and Goldstein 2008). However, we believe that cluster and network analysis can be used within the context of a multi-layered approach to the study of innovation policy in the wine industry.
