Q

Name the (2) irrigation techniques for the grapevine improving berry quality while reducing water usage

A
  • Regulated Deficit Irrigation (RDI): creates water stress during certain key periods of the vine’s development by lowering the total amount of applied irrigation water. Vineyard managers could limit vegetative growth while enhancing fruit coloration and restricting berry size but may negatively impact the development of aromatic varieties by slowing the accumulation of monoterpenes in the ripening grapes
  • Partial Rootzone Drying (PRD): reduces total water use by up to 50% by alternating the application of drip irrigation from one side of a vine row to the other, keeping half of the rootzone irrigated and half dry
