Background and Rationale:
Most inland New England growers continue to depend on French-American hybrids or other
cold-hardy cultivars for the bulk of their production.
![Page 3: Gouveia Vineyard Wallingford, CT · HRU. SD/SH. VSP. Yield/meter (kg/m) Cane 1.83 m. 2015. Spur 1.83 m. Spur 2.44 m. 2014 was a wet year! • Downy Mildew was a major problem •](https://reader031.vdocuments.us/reader031/viewer/2022011918/600442992acf5c0217417956/html5/thumbnails/3.jpg)
These hybrids are much more vigorous than the old-world vinifera
Saint Croix

Can different canopy structure increase productivity?
… without affecting fruit quality?

To answer these questions we established a 0.5 A plot at
Gouveia Vineyard in Wallingford CT
![Page 6: Gouveia Vineyard Wallingford, CT · HRU. SD/SH. VSP. Yield/meter (kg/m) Cane 1.83 m. 2015. Spur 1.83 m. Spur 2.44 m. 2014 was a wet year! • Downy Mildew was a major problem •](https://reader031.vdocuments.us/reader031/viewer/2022011918/600442992acf5c0217417956/html5/thumbnails/6.jpg)
Treatments Four training systems were followed:
• Vertical Shoot Positioning (VSP)– Mid-wire trained– Catch wires above– Hedged
• Hudson River Umbrella (HRU)– Top-wire trained– Combed
• Smart-Dyson (SD)– Vertically divided canopy, mid-wire trained.– Catch wires above and below
• Geneva Double Curtain (GDC)– Horizontally divided canopy, top-wire trained.– Combed

Pruning Method
• Fruit is borne on canes from last years buds.• A single cane from last year can supply many
buds.• Cane pruning uses last year’s canes to become
a cordon.• Spur pruning cuts back the cordon to last
years wood.

2015 was a DRY year!
• There were no major disease problems• Yield depended on cordon length• Cane-pruned vines suffered winter damage!

2014 was a wet year!
• Downy Mildew was a major problem• Grape leaves close to the ground stay wet
longer• This resulted in yield loss for VSP and SD/SH
treatments.

Results
• Doubling cordon length doubles yield• This requires twice the pruning and training• However, more inter-row spacing may reduce
efficiency.• Low canopies are more prone to disease • Denser canopies promote fruit rots
