Abstract
A hydrocooling system provided canopy temperature control of Vitis vinifera L. cv. Semillon vines at set points of 30, 35 and 40°C. The impacts on vegetative and reproductive growth over the growing season were assessed. Dynamics and rates of leaf expansion, bunch biomass and sugar accumulation were strongly affected by canopy temperatures – being highest at 30°C and lowest at 40°C. Leaf and stem biomass accumulation at 40°C was detrimentally affected but was otherwise little affected by temperature. Leaf expansion was earliest, leaf sizes greatest and rates of expansion all optimal at 30°C and all were strongly temperature dependent. Bunch biomass accumulation was earliest at 35°C but amount of biomass in bunches and rates were both highly temperature dependent and optimal at 30°C. Rates of sugar accumulation and total amounts accumulated at harvest were both highly temperature-dependent processes: fastest and greatest at 30°C. Many of the temperature-dependent processes decreased in rates and amounts linearly between 30 and 40°C. Despite the effects of temperature on bunch and berry growth, there were no treatment effects on the yield per vine. The study confirms that the threshold temperature for most processes was 35°C, where some depreciation in dry matter and sugar accumulation occurred, whereas 40°C was detrimental to all growth processes.
