Split berries • On berry:
• Exposed flesh • Specific pattern and site
• In cluster: • Randomly distributed • Soft berries only

Consequences • Cuticle failure affects: • Yield
• Dehydration • Berry drops
• Quality
• Risks of diseases • Botrytis • Sour rots
• Higher TSS • Deteriorated
appearance

• Concentration • Higher variation among
clusters • Intact berry sampling
• Underestimate TSS • Cluster sampling
• Overestimate maturation of survivor

How split developing?
• Cracking • The failure of skin • Access to absorb
water • Weaker strength
• Splitting • The extreme form of cracking
(Peschel and Knoche, 2005)

Sources of excessive stress
• Inner – Growth – Rain water absorption
• Outer – Birds – Neighbor berries

Two-phase actions
• Phase 1 – Initiation
• Excessive stress Skin failure • Due to berry volume increase if source is
growth
• Phase 2 – Expansion
• Relaxation of skin Deeper tissue failure • Release the energy stored in skin (spring)

Birds/Mechanical piercing
• Sharp object penetration
• Cuneiform script – From birds

Compact cluster
• Variety: – Zinfandel – Riesling
• Factors: – Flower number – Berry set – Berry size – Rachis length – Pedicel length

Linear berry density
• Simpler tool • Measurements:
– Total berry numbers • Intact • Split
– Length of peduncle • From the end • To the base of 1st
secondary branch

Split peduncle • Alleviate berry splitting • Bunch closure • Green hard berry
dehydration • More space for survivors • In compact clusters

• Severe drought – Increase defects? – Decrease critical pressure – May not survive rainfall
• Moderate drought – Impose deficit irrigation – Pre-véraison seems critical
