Results indicated that theconcentration of 12 g.l-1 of bread yeast, liquid organic fertilizer at 4 ml.l-1 andinteraction between them affected on yield and physical characteristics of clusters,berries and chemical properties of berries significantly over other concentrations andinteractions. The number of clusters/vine, cluster weight, yield increased by applicationof bread yeast, and there were significant differences between treatments comparing tocontrol. Applications of bread yeast and organic fertilizer significantly improve physicalcharacteristics of berries comparing to control. Bread yeast application causedsignificant increase in total soluble solid (TSS), decreased titratable acidity (TA), withhighest value of TSS/TA ratio compared with control.
