The occurrence of grape berry shattering and decay is influenced by the pre- and/or postharvest infection of decay organisms and pest. Postharvest infection is associated with physical damage due to rough handling. To control quality loss during storage of table grapes, the effects of slow releasing $SO^2$ pad on storability of 'Rosario Bianco' (Vitis vinifera) and 'Campbell Early' (Vitis labruscana) grapes were examined, respectively. The $SO^2$ concentration in package of tables grapes reached to at about 40 $ug{\cdot}L^{-1}$ after 40 days of treatment and remained more than 80 days above 15 $ug{\cdot}L^{-1}$. Decay was found in untreated 'Rosario Bianco' and 'Campbell Early' grapes at each for 44 and 85 days after storage, but not in $SO^2$ pad treated grapes. The storage potential of grape berries at $0^{\circ}C$ increased 2~3 times depending on cultivar by $SO^2$ pad treatment. The application of $SO^2$ pad is confirmed to be effective on the increase of market potential with minimizing quality loss such as berry shattering and decay.

'Heukisul' (3x) a cross made in 2000 between 'Kyoho' (4x, Vitis sp.) and 'Thompson Seedless' (2x, Vitis vinifera L.) in a seedless grape breeding program, was preliminarily selected in 2004. After regional adaptation testing under the name of 'KTS014' at two sites during 2004-2005, it was finally selected in 2006. 'Heukisul' showed low incidence of berry shattering, resulting in a good berry set compared to 'King Dela'. 'Heukisul' had budburst on April 23, flowering on in June 9, and fruit maturation in September 29 (almost the same as 'King Dela' at Chuncheon), and it was considered a midseason cultivar. The mean berry weight was 4.0 g, about 0.7 g heavier than 'King Dela', and mean soluble solids were $21.9\;^{\circ}Brix$, about $2.7\;^{\circ}Brix$ higher than 'King Dela'. The skin color was dark violet with abundant bloom and the flesh was very firm. Although the cluster was compact, it required no cluster thinning. Also the incidence of berry cracking was very low.

A study was conducted to examine treatment method, proper concentration, and treatment time of gibberellin(GA₃) for human labor saving at harvest in 'Campbell Early' grapevine. Fruit berry thinning reduced labor by GA₃ 40ppm treatment of 5 days prior to full bloom, and, at GA₃ 10, 20, and 40ppm during full bloom, by 14.27~19.15 minutes/tree. Therefore, although labor was reduced by dipping treatment at 40ppm of 5 days prior to full bloom and 20 and 40 ppm during full bloom, severe shattering was observed at 40ppm dipping treatment, and soluble solids decreased, which suggests difficulty with commercialization. The result suggests that proper time and concentration of GA₃ fruit cluster dipping treatment at full bloom and 10 and 20ppm, respectively.

Grapes(Vitis labruscana B) were fumigated with acetic acid at 20mg/liter to reduce storage decay and packaged with polyethylene film(0.03mm), then stored for 90 days at 2$^{\circ}C$. Modified atmosphere packaging reduced slightly weight loss and soluble solids content during storage. Acetic acid fumigation decreased effectively berry shattering and achieved remarkable control of rotting for storage. Two grape cultivars, 'Campbell Early' and 'Sheridan', fumigated with acetic acid had only 0.7~2.9 berries rot compared with 8.3~27.6 berries rot of cluster for grapes that were not fumigated.

'Kyoho' grape (Vitis labruscana L.) has currently cropped twice a year in plastic greenhouses. However, there are problems with low fruit quality in the second cropping owing to low temperatures and short photoperiods. This experiment was conducted to investigate the effect of root zone heating and $CO_2$ enrichment in plastic greenhouse on the vine growth and fruit quality of 'Kyoho' grape in double cropping system. The internode length of shoots, leaf area and leaf dry weight at the treatment of soil heating near root zone was significantly different regardless of $CO_2$ enrichment. There were no significant differences in fruit bunch and berry weight, titratable acidity, coloration degree and berry shattering among the treatments, but the soluble solids significantly increased by root zone heating. Photosynthetic rate increased with increasing $CO_2$ concentration from 300 to $800{\mu}mol{\cdot}mol^{-1}$ in sunny day, whereas it didn't increase in cloudy day regardless of $CO_2$ enrichment.

In an attempt to select grape bag, which elevates grape quality and make easy maturation period determination, the following research was carried out at Chungbuk Institute of Agricultural Technology, Grape Experiment Station. Light transmittance rate of bag reached to 11-65% with non-woven fabric and non-dripped vinyl bags. Non-dripped vinyl perforation and white painting bag resulted in 50 and 75%, respectively. Berry weights in non-woven fabric and non-dripped vinyl bag were high than that in paper bag. Non-dripped vinyl perforation 50%, white painting bag brought into fruit cracking, shattering, and rotten fruit, making the investigation difficult. Maturation period preceded about 1-4 day with non-woven fabric and non-dripped vinyl compared with that in paper bag. Soluble solids content with non-woven fabric and non-dripped vinyl bags was high and acidity showed a reverse result. Coloring extent was developed rapidly with non-woven fabric and non-dripped vinyl than paper bag. During initial state of coloring, coloring was rapid with Maekban-Stone mixed non-woven fabric and non-dripped vinyl + non-woven fabric bag. This was rapid with non-woven fabric bag as long appropriate maturation period. Abnormal berry rate was 5.4-7.0% with paper and non-woven fabric bags but brought about as much as 16.6-100% with non-dripped vinyl and it's mixed bags. Appearance quality was the best with index 9.0 for non-woven fabric bag. Maekban-Stone mixed non-woven fabric but non-dripped vinyl performance 50% white painting bag was the least, showing index 1.0. The time consumed for maturation determination was reduced to 74-93% with non-woven fabric and non-dripped vinyl bag compared with 17.4h/10a with paper bag.
