Water changes
In accordance with the increase of berry fresh weight
(Fig. 1), 160 mg L–1 GA3 also increased absolute berry
water content at harvest with regard to not treated
berry; values averaged 2.6 g and 3.3 g water per berry,
respectively. In contrast, ‘Aledo’ did not alter absolute
berry water content as a result of treatment (4.1 g and
4.0 g, respectively). However, treatment did not increase
significantly relative to fresh weight water content for
both ‘Emperatriz’ (81.8% and 82.1%, respectively) and
‘Aledo’ (80.1 and 80.0, respectively). Interestingly, both
varieties accumulate same quantity of water in relative
value to fresh weight and irrespective of the treatment.
These results agree with those of Ψw and π (Table 3).
