Three experimental data sets involving three grapevine varieties and a range of deficit irrigation and pruning treatments are described.
The purpose for obtaining the data sets was two-fold, (1) to m... moreeet the research goals of the Cooperative Research Centre for Viticulture (CRCV) during its tenure 1999-2006, and (2) to test the capacity of the VineLOGIC grapevine growth and development model to predict timing of bud burst, flowering, veraison and harvest, yield and yield components, berry attributes and components of water balance. A test script included with the VineLOGIC source code publication (https://doi.org/10.25919/5eb3536b6a8a8) enables comparison between model predicted and measured values for key variables. Supporting information, including key references relating to the data sets, a description of selected terms, and outcomes of regression analysis between values predicted by the model and observed values, are provided as attachments in supporting documentation.

VineLOGIC is a model of grapevine growth and development. It integrates the influence of climate, soil water and salt balance on growth and yield. It operates at a point scale and uses a daily time st... moreep, requiring historical daily weather data from the closest station as inputs. Source code released through this publication underpins separate software with capacity to vary inputs and run simulations. Inputs include the amount and salinity of irrigation water, the way in which the irrigation is applied, e.g. full or partial ground cover, and key components of a typical vineyard, e.g. wine grape variety and rootstock type, pruning and trellis system type, soil type, vine carbohydrate reserve and depth to watertable at the start of the season, groundwater salinity, root zone salinity at simulation start time and mid-row floor management, such as presence or absence of a cover crop. Outputs include key phenology dates, for example, budburst, flowering, veraison and harvest time, growth parameters such as leaf area index and weights of dormant pruning wood, bunch number and yield per vine, berry number per bunch, berry attributes at harvest plus all key parameters of soil water and salt balance, e.g. total evapotranspiration, vine water uptake, surface soil water evaporation, irrigation added, drainage and water stress indices if water deficits occurred at specific growth stages. While the model has access to a wide range of regional climate data and vineyard soil types, climate data for just one region (Mildura, Victoria) and one soil type are intended to be provided through experimental data sets to be published separately in Data Access Portal for running with a test script included in the current collection. Similarly, while the model has access to a range of wine grape varieties and rootstock types, only a limited number are intended to be provided for running with this test script.less
