This study was conducted in order to determine the effects of leaf water potential and cluster thinning
applications on phytochemical properties of cv. Sangiovese. Four different leaf water potential (Ψleaf) applications;
(Control (Non irrigated) (<0.7MPa), Ψpd nЄ (-0.3;-0.5] MPa, Ψpd nЄ (-0.3;-0.6] MPa, Ψpd nЄ (-0.3;-0.7] MPa)
and two different cluster thinning applications; (non cluster thinning and 50% cluster thinning) were made. In this
research, it was determined that the application of Ψpd nЄ (-0.3;-0.7 MPa) improves the phytochemical properties
more than control treatment. Cluster thinning applications had an insignificant effect on leaf water potentials,
whereas %50 Cluster Thinning application had an positive effect on the quality. As a result, Ψpd nЄ(-0.3;-0.7] MPa
interval leaf water potential application and when the excessive yield existing, %50 Cluster Thinning could be
recomended for the cv. Sangiovese.
