Symptoms
Only a few seeded berries set, most berries remain small and seedless. This is called millerandage, hen and chicken, or the pumpkin and pea symptom.
Reasons
Boron deficiency
Boron deficiency is one of the most serious nonparasitic grapevine diseases. It is observed especially on strongly acid soils (pH 3.5 - 4.5).
Grapevines - Deformation

Grapevines - Chlorosis
Symptoms
Boron deficiency symptoms on the leaves appear first as chlorosis on leaf margins. Chlorosis extends between the veins.
Later leaf margins show red brown colour and die off .
The main veins near them usually remain green.

Grapevines - Discolouration
Symptoms
Fruit split and discoloration, caused by B deficiency.

Boron deficiency is one of the most serious nonparasitic grapevine diseases. It is observed especially on strongly acid soils (pH 3.5 - 4.5).
Calcium deficient plants are prone to fruit splitting as well.
