Abstract

Abstract Application of ethephon at 200 to 2,000 ppm was made to the grape cvs. ‘Tokay’ and ‘Emperor’, and at 1,000 ppm to ‘Thompson Seedless’ and ‘Carignane’. The soluble solids were significantly increased in some fruits of ‘Carignane’ but not in the other cultivars. Ethephon treatment resulted in reductions in acidity in some fruits of all cultivars. This increased soluble solids to acidity ratios in some ethephon-treated fruits. An increase in anthocyanin content of the colored berries occurred, but not significantly so in ‘Tokay’. Optimum time for treatment was about 2 weeks after initiation of coloring.
