The four sites (En Crambade, Mondonville, Rivières, Auzeville) were located in the South-West of France, around Toulouse. All experiments were irrigated and had two planting dates, except Mondonville in 2014. The same three cultivars (‘Ecudor,’ ‘Santana,’ ‘Isidor’) were tested in 2013, 2014, 2017, and 2018. Respectively three and six cultivars were added in 2017 and 2018. Mean phenological stages needed for the study are reported for each experiment.
