Abstract
The effect of differential cropping on growth and fruiting of <i>Vitis vinifera</i> `Thompson Seedless,9 `Carignane,9 and `Ribier9 grapevines was studied. Heavy cropping delayed fruit maturation and resulted in straggly clusters with small berries. It also induced premature drying of foliage. Overcropping in `Carignane9 moderately reduced the level of total available carbohydrates (sugars and starch) in the roots. Three years of overcropping did not markedly weaken the vines of any variety.
