Abstract This work was carried out In two successive seasons (1996 and 1997) on five years old Thompson seedless grapevines, that were headtrained and cane-pruned, planted in Kelin, Kafr El-Sheikh Governorate. The aim of this work was to study the effect of preharvest CaCl2 and NAA sprays on yield, quality and storability of Thompson seedless grapes . Bunches were picked when the T.S.S. reached (16. J% ±0.1 %) for both seasons . Trimmed clusters were packed in plastic boxes (50 x 35 x 15 em) with perforated polyethylene liners and one S02 slow release pad placed directly above the clusters and under the plastic liner and then stored at 0 C and 80 - 90 % RH for eight weeks . S02 pads were changed with new ones after four weeks. |
