An experiment was conducted in order to study the performance of different wine varieties grafted on Dogridge rootstock carried out during the year 2019-20 at Research farm, College of Horticulture, Mandsaur, Madhya Pradesh. The experiment conducted in factorial randomized block design with three replications. Grapes grafted of sixteen wine varieties on Dogridge Rootstock. Ten red wine varieties i.e., Cinsault, Convent Large Black, Grenache, Tempranillo, Cabernet France, Cabernet Sauvingnon, Shiraz, Sangiovese, Carignane, Tsimlasky Chernyi and six white wine varieties i.e., Chenin Blanc, Sauvignon Blanc, Clariette, Gargenega, Viognier, Sirius. Evaluated, the Shiraz highest pruning weight (2.22 kg), girth of rootstock (6.51 cm) and girth of Scion (7.16 cm) in Chenin Blanc, girth of cane (0.80 cm) in Convent Large Black, number of mature cane per vine (48.30) in Sauvignon Blanc, number of fruitful canes per vine (23.55) in variety Tsimlasky Chernyi, period of panicle appearance (25.59) in shiraz, date of anthesis (41.12 days) in Grenache, days to fruit set (47.17 days) in Cinsault, days to fruit ripening (146.28 days) in variety Gargenega, number of bunches per vine observed in Chenin Blanc (53.12), bunch weight in Tempranillo (101.41 g), Berry weight in Convent Large Black (2.33 g), weight of 100 berries found in Convent Large Black (206.01 g), berry length in Convent Large Black (19.42 mm), berry diameter in Convent Large Black (18.75 mm), Number of seed per berry in Viognier (3.67).
Dogridge, rootstock, grapes, wine varieties
It is concluded that the findings of one year trials the results of present experiment showed that the Dogridge rootstock performed well with respect to different wine varieties of grapes which were grafted over it and has been found most appropriate rootstock under the agro-climatic conditions of Malwa Plateau region for screening the growth, yield, quality and organoleptic parameters of the fruits. The performance of varieties raised on Dogridge rootstock was promising.
