Abstract
Vitis Vinifera’s growth and fruit development are both highly affected by the
environmental stresses that the plants undergo. High winds have been shown to
negatively affect Vitis Vinifera through decreased time of stomata opening. The problem
observed were buds dying during the post dormancy hypothesized to be caused by high
winds creating water loss. To test this five different varietals are used with each
containing a Wind Fence group, a Control group, Irrigation group, and multiple antitranspirant
groups. To test the hardiness of the lateral buds from the different groups bud
break assays, dehydration assays, and thermal imaging has been done. Upon analysis of
the results there was a difference about the genotypes but no statistically significant
difference between the treatments. This year there was no need for application of the
treatments as there was no added benefit to the buds.
