Valuable table grapes varieties from Stefanesti-Arges wineyard and their agrobiological attributes

Abstract

On the Romanian market there are a few table grapes varieties with commercial aspect. Proceeding studies and determinations in experimental fields of the improvement laboratory , four varieties of table grapes (Augusta, Victoria, Argessis, Transilvania) have shown remarkable quality traits and also variable maturation ages which are suitable to respond to the market demand from June to September. The improvement of a viticulture variety by introducing new varieties with improved quality and productivity, tolerant to stress factors and diseases, represent a present problem for the Romanian research. The introduction in culture of a variety which is suited for the pedo-climatic conditions of a viticulture area is an important objective for any ameliorator. Many table or wine grape varieties are researched for years in amphelographic collections or in contest fields to study the way these varieties adapt to the variation of the weather conditions.
