Influence of trellis system on productive and technological characteristics of variety Victoria in Strumica vine growing district

Abstract

The data on productive and technological characteristics of Victoria variety grown on two trellis systems, pergola and espalier are shown in this paper. Mechanical composition of a bunch and a berry as well as chemical composition of the must were analysed. The results of investigation show that this variety has good results on either of the trellis systems, pergola and espalier in the Strumica vine growing district, the Republic of Macedonia. The Victoria's bunches from pergola are heavier and longer whereas the bunch and berries are wider, with uniform characteristics of berries and skin colour in comparison with bunches from espalier trellis system.
