The evaluation of shoot density and basal leaf removal effects on canopy structure, canopy microclimate and on vigour and vegetative growth was carried out during 3 years (2004 to 2006) on ‘Alfrocheiro’ vine variety, at Dão Delimited Region, Center-North of Portugal. Three different shoot densities were assayed (at G stage of Baggiolini scale): control (D1), 18 shoots.m-1 row (D2) and 12 shoots.m-1 row (D3). At...
The objectives of this experiment were to evaluate the influence of shoot density and basal leaf removal on the canopy microclimate characteristics and their influence on yield, fruit composition and wine quality of one of the most important and noble Portuguese red vine varieties – Touriga Nacional. The experiment was carried out in 2004 on a private enterprise (Dão Sul, Soc. Vitivinícola, SA) of Dão region, c...
