Effect of various rootstocks on yield and chlorophyll content in leaf of wine grape varieties (Vitis vinifera L.)

Abstract

The investigation was carried out at Instructional- cum- Research Farm of Department of Horticulture, College of Agriculture, Latur during the year 2010-2011. There were significant differences found in yield attributes viz; number of berries per bunch, weight of berry, number of bunches per vine, weight of bunch, yield kg per vine and yield Mt per hectare were maximum in Syrah-524 grafted on 110 R and physiological attributes i.e. chlorophyll the maximum chlorophyll ‘a’, chlorophyll ‘b’, and total chlorophyll contents recorded by Pinot Noir-15 grafted on 110 R was recorded non significantly.
