An experiment was conducted at Main Horticultural Research and Extension Centre (MHREC), Division of Fruit science, UHS, Bagalkot (Karnataka) from May 2014 to March 2015 on four year old 2A Clone grape vineyard to study the influence of growth regulators (i.e. retardants) and chemicals on the quality parameters of grape cv. 2A Clone. The results revealed that vines treated with CCC 750 ppm (T4) significantly showed an increase in all the quality parameters of grape viz., total soluble solids (22.01 °Brix), TSS to acid ratio (37.53), total sugars (21.50 %), reducing sugar (19.60 %) and lowest acidity (0.59 %) as compared to other treatments. The spray of 750 ppm cycocel (CCC) showed best result for quality attributes of grape. Finally, it is concluded that applications of growth retardants and chemicals are considered as a good viticulture practice which could lead to the improvement in productivity and quality in grapes.
