RESUMO

The foliage presence, on the grape plant, after harvest is very important, because it is in this period that carbohydrate will be accumulated to be used in the next season by the plant. The objective of this work was to study the influence of the defoliation after the harvest. It was established the following artificial defoliation levels: 25% and 50%, with 4 distinct times: 30 days after harvest, 45 days after harvest, 60 days after harvest and 75 days after harvest. The control treatment was 0% artificial defoliation , with fungicides treatment, with the objective to maintain the foliar area and the untreated, with 0% artificial defoliation, but without fungicides treatment. In the traditional grape production in this region (“dry pruning” realized in the winter time), the variables analyzed were: a) shoots weight after defoliation; b) % buds burst; c) shoots growth; d) number of bunches; e) weight of the bunches; f) oBRIX; g) production. The next production, called “Green pruning”, the variables analyzed were: a) shoots growth; b) weight of the bunches; c) production. The weight of the shoots decreased as we increased the defoliation level; the untreated, even not having any artificial defoliation, just like 0% defoliation treatment, it showed less weight. The growth of the shoots and the growth speed did not show any difference among the treatments within “dry pruning” and within “green pruning”, but there was a difference between the treatments in the “dry pruning” compared with the treatment in the “green pruning”; the shoot length was longer for the “dry pruning” and the growth speed was faster in the “green pruning”, in the first 20 days. The 0% defoliation treatment showed a faster buds burst and all 25% defoliation treatments showed a slightly superiority buds burst over 50% treatments. The number of bunches was the same for all treatments, as well as oBRIX. The bunches weight and the production were higher on 0% defoliation treatment and lower for the untreated in both harvest. All treatments production and bunches weight were higher on the “dry pruning” than on the “green pruning”.
