  1. CK, the control treatment (unthinned and ungirdled); G, trunk girdled one week before véraison; CT, 50% clusters thinned one week before véraison; CTG, 50% clusters thinned and trunk girdled one week before véraison. Different letters within a column indicate statistically different values (p < 0.05) according to Duncan’s test.
