Effects of Kaolin Treatment on Table Grape Characteristics of cv. Trakya Ilkeren (V. vinifera L.)

Abstract

In this study, the effects of foliar kaolin particle film treatment (PF) on some table grape quality characteristics of cv. Trakya Ilkeren grown in Ankara conditions were investigated. The application of kaolin particle film (3%) was started just after fruit set. Treatments were repeated weekly for three weeks. Yield per vine was found to be 3.60 kg in Control (C) and 3.93 kg in PF treatment. No significant effect of PF treatment on grape yield was determined. TSS and maturity index were affected positively by PF treatment. TSS was determined as 19.45oBx and 20.68oBx in C and PF treatment respectively. The maturity index (%) increased from 30.30 (C) to 35.28 (PF) due to the increase in TSS. No differences in pH and titratable acidity were observed between PF and C. While cluster weight increased from 314.48 g (C) to 357.47 g (PF), cluster length increased from 17.14 cm (C) to 19.02 cm (PF). No significant change in cluster width, berry weight, width, length and berry firmness were determined. More intense skin color was obtained from PF treatment according to CIRG index. Considering the findings, it was concluded that PF treatment led to the development in quality attributes of cv. Trakya Ilkeren grown under high solar radiation and temperature stress.
