Vines are highly responsive to agricultural management techniques, such as training systems. Three training systems, i.e., conventional, high, and double training, for the ‘Niagara Rosada’ vine were studied considering aspects related to the yield, physicochemical, and antioxidant characteristics of the grapes. The experiment was carried out during two seasons (2017 and 2018), and the vines grafted on IAC 572 Jales. The training systems did not influence the fruit production per vine and yield of the ‘Niagara Rosada’ table grape, but some improvements were observed, such as a greater number of berries per bunch in vines managed in the conventional training systems and a higher fresh mass of berries when cultivated in the high and double training systems. Grapes from the double training system had higher soluble solids contents, an important sensorial characteristic in table grapes. The high training system, in turn, provided ‘Niagara Rosada’ table grapes with a greater content of bioactive compounds (e.g., phenolic compounds, flavonoids, and anthocyanins) and antioxidant activity.

Loss of mass, shatter and decay are undesirable for fresh grapes, as they decrease the cluster quality during post-harvest conservation. The objective of this study was to assess the effect of abscisic acid (S-ABA) application on ‘Rubi’ grapes’ loss of mass, shatter, decay incidence and conservation periods. ‘Rubi’ grapes’ clusters used in the experiment were gotten from a commercial vineyard located in the town of Sao Miguel Arcanjo, SP, Brazil (23° 31’ S, 47° 35’ W and 660 m above sea level). The experimental design was completely randomized with subdivided plots and six replicates; the plots represented the concentration levels of S-ABA and the subplots represented the assessment days, starting on the day of harvest, extending up to 18 days after harvest. The concentrations of the isomer (S)-cis-abscisic acid (S-ABA) used were: Control (0 mg L-1); 400 mg L-1 of S-ABA at the beginning of maturation (BM); 400 mg L-1 in the BM + 200 mg L-1 at 25 days after the first application (25 DAFA); and 400 mg L-1 in the BM + 400 mg L-1 at 25 DAFA. The clusters were placed in expanded polystyrene trays and stored at room temperature (25.0 ± 5°C and 50 to 85% relative humidity (RH)). The loss of mass, berry shatter and decay incidence were assessed over the post-harvest conservation periods. The S-ABA influenced the evaluated characteristics. One application of S-ABA reduced shatter and decay incidence, while two applications (400 mg L-1 in the BM + 400 mg L-1 at 25 DAFA) reduced the loss of mass. Key words: Post-harvest conservation, grapes, abscisic acid, shatter, decay incidence, cluster quality.

O experimento foi realizado nos ciclos produtivos de 2014 e 2015 no município de São Manuel-SP (22° 44’ S e 48° 34’ O e 740 m). As plantas foram sustentadas em espaldeira baixa no espaçamento de 2,0 x 0,80 m. O delineamento experimental foi em blocos casualizados em esquema fatorial 2 x 2, correspondendo aos dois porta-enxertos (‘IAC 766’ e ‘IAC 572’) e dois sistemas de condução do cordão principal (unilateral e bilateral). Foram avaliados o número de gemas do cordão principal e o número de ramos por planta, fertilidade de gemas, comprimento, diâmetro e massa fresca dos mesmos. Durante o ciclo foram avaliadas a duração dos estádios fenológicos e a evolução da maturação das uvas. Na colheita, avaliaram-se: número de cachos por planta, produção; produtividade; massa fresca, comprimento e largura de cachos, bagas e engaços; número de bagas por cacho e relação entre comprimento e largura da baga. O mosto da uva foi avaliado quanto ao teor de sólidos solúveis (SS), acidez titulável (AT), relação SS/AT, pH e açúcares redutores. De modo geral, o sistema de condução recomendado para produção de uvas com qualidade comercial para a ‘Niagara Rosada’ consiste no cordão bilateral com o porta-enxerto ‘IAC 766’ sustentadas em espaldeira baixa na região centro-oeste do Estado de São Paulo. The aim of this study was to evaluate the influence of training systems main cord and rootstock ‘IAC 766’ and ‘IAC 572’ in the vegetative development, bud fertility, production and the physicochemical characteristics of bunches and berries of grape ‘Niagara Rosada’. The experiment was conducted in the productive cycles of 2014 and 2015 at the Experimental Farm of the Faculty of Agricultural Sciences/UNESP, located in São Manuel, SP (22º 44’ S and 48º 34’ W and 740 m). The plants were spaced 2,0 x 0,80 m, in espalier support system low. The treatments consisted of the combination of two rootstocks (‘IAC 766’ and ‘IAC 572’) and two training systems of the main cord (unilateral and bilateral). Were avaluated the bud number of the main cord and the number of branches per plant, the fertility evaluation of bud, length, diameter and fresh weight thereof. During the cycle were evaluated, the duration of phenological stages and the evolution of maturation the grapes. At harvest, were evaluated: number of bunches per plant; production; productivity; fresh weight, length and width of bunches, berries and stems; number of berries per cluster and the relationship between length and width of berry. The must grape was evaluated for soluble solids (SS), titratable acidity (AT), relationship SS/AT, pH and reducing sugars. In general, the recommended conduction system for commercial quality grapes for 'Niagara Rosada' consists of the bilateral cord with the 'IAC 766' rootstock, which is supported by a low espalier in the central-western region of the State of São Paulo.
