Evaluation of new grapevine varieties and perspective elites in genofond of ISPHTA

Abstract

In the paper are presented the agrobiological and ampelographic characteristics of the new varieties and elites, created and highlighted in the Republic of Moldova (National Institute of Vine and Wine, currently Scientific and Practical Institute for Horticulture and Food Technologies). Presented genotypes possess separately or in different combinations the characteristics necessary for a sustainable, competitive vitiviniculture: quality, including a different degree of seedlessness, productivity, increased or enhanced resistance to extreme fluctuations of temperature (in winter and in summer), to cryptogamic diseases, diverse use, long-term storage, transportability. The diversity of presented characters and properties is a valuable potential for completing existing assortment; servesas the basis for the development of organic production and as a strategic pre-breeding fund in future breeding programs.
