Proper deficit irrigation applied at various stages of growth can maintain yield and improve the comprehensive fruit quality and economic return of table grapes grown in greenhouses
In order to investigate the quantitative response of yield, fruit quality and economic return of table grapes grown in greenhouses under deficit irrigation applied at various growth stages, experiments were conducted in 2017 and 2018. Three irrigation levels (full irrigation, 2/3 and 1/3‐full irriga...

Zusammenfassung: | In order to investigate the quantitative response of yield, fruit quality and economic return of table grapes grown in greenhouses under deficit irrigation applied at various growth stages, experiments were conducted in 2017 and 2018. Three irrigation levels (full irrigation, 2/3 and 1/3‐full irrigation) were applied at the fruit setting–swelling (stage 2), veraison (stage 4) and whole growth stages. The comprehensive fruit quality index (Qc) was determined in order to evaluate the overall quality of the berries and its effect on economic return. The results showed that deficit irrigation significantly decreased evapotranspiration (ET) and yield, and improved water use efficiency (WUE), individual quality parameters and Qc. Fruit quality was more sensitive to water deficit at stage 4 than at stage 2. Significant linear functions were found between a relative decrease in yield, berry quality parameters, Qc and a relative seasonal ET deficit. Net income under deficit irrigation was related to the price proportional coefficient (R). Higher net income was mainly determined by a higher yield when R was less than 1, while higher net income was determined by a higher Qc when R was greater than 3. An appropriate water deficit level at stages 2 and 4 (F2/3V2/3) is recommended as an optimal treatment as it produces a higher Qc, the highest WUE and net income without a significant decrease in yield.
Résumé
Pour étudier les réponses quantitatives du rendement, de la qualité des fruits et du rendement économique des raisins de table cultivés en serres à l'irrigation déficitaire appliquée à différents stades de croissance, des expériences ont été menées en 2017 et 2018.Trois niveaux d'irrigation (irrigation complète, 2/3 et 1/3) ont été appliqués à la culture des fruits: l'enflure (stade 2), la véraison (stade 4) et la croissance complète. L'indice global de la qualité des fruits (Qc) a été déterminé pour évaluer la qualité globale des baies et son effet sur le rendement économique. Les résultats ont montré que l'irrigation déficitaire diminuait significativement l'évapotranspiration (ET) et le rendement, qu'elle améliorait l'efficacité de l'utilisation de l'eau (WUE), les paramètres de qualité individuels et le Qc. La qualité des fruits s'est révélée plus sensible au déficit d'eau à l'étape 4 qu'à l'étape 2. Des fonctions linéaires significatives ont été trouvées entre la diminution relative du rendement, les paramètres de qualité des baies, le Qc et le déficit saisonn |
