Brief Description
The study will be conducted in staggered planting. The treatments will be monthly planting as follows:
T1 - January planting
T2 - February planting
T3 - March planting
T4 - April planting
T5 - May planting
T6 - June planting
T7 - July planting
T8 - August planting
T9 - September planting
T10 - October planting
T11 - November planting
T12 - December planting
Propagation of cuttings will be done every month so that planting materials will have the same age/maturity during the establishments of the monthly planting. Plant will be spaced at 1 meter distances, 5 plants per treatment replicated 3 times in a Randomized Complete Block Design (RCBD).
Cultural management shall be employed like providing trellis, use of 2 kg organic fertilizer per plant, irrigation and weeding as needed.
Data to be gathered will be vine length at 3, 6 and 9 months after transplanting. Likewise, number of branches shall also be monitored, days to flower, yield and yield components.
