Abstract
The current experiment was conducted to examine the effects of Fulmet liquid treatment on berry enlargement, development and quality in six European grape cultivars. The Fulmet liquid solution was applied to the berries of the rate of 5, 10 and 20 ppm 2 weeks after full bloom.
1. Effects of the Fulmet concentration on the weight of a berry and fruit cluster varied among the cultivars.
2. Although the berry enlargement of ‘Monuka’ and ‘Rizamat’ was enhanced the sugar acid ratio decreased. The berry growth of ‘Unicon’, ‘Mario’, ‘Nehelescol’ and ‘Baradi’ was stimulated, and the sugar acid ratio did not decrease appreciably.
3. Effects of Fulmet liquid treatment on the fruit quality were different among the European grape cultivars.
