What's happening in the field?

At the Missouri State Fruit Experiment Station

Some more juice chemistry

September 8, 2009 by Susanne Howard

These are Norton and Cabernet Sauvignon plants that we use for research purposes.
pH Brix TA
Norton 2.85 18.2 1.946
Cabernet 3.19 18.8 1.049

Interestingly, we also have a number of very small plants grown from seeds from a Norton and Cabernet Sauvignon cross where the sugar levels are mostly higher than either of the parents. I can not do any other juice chemistry on them at the moment, as most of them have only a few clusters. This apparent earlyness may just be a fluke though, because the plants are bearing any amount of fruit for the first time. When the plants mature, their ripening habits ‘settle down’ so to speak.
