| Abstract:
In the Murfatlar vineyard (biggest from the S-E of Romania) on the experimental plantations with most known Vitis vinifera varieties a complex research was created for better knowing the needs of plants and for better exploitation of local abiotic resources. Studies were made about vine-ecosystems, climatic changes on the last decades and their effect on the vine growth, all data being collected in computer databases. Climatic conditions of the last few years were characterised by important deviations from the data average of the main meteorological factors. The late frost from the first decade of May, two years consecutively (below -2°C), determined important production losses, mainly in the plantation located on the plane and low altitudes. The extreme temperatures and the dryness from last summers influenced negatively the production of these plantations. The passage from the traditional cultural practices to an integrated production, took in consideration all the components of vine-ecosystem. The goals are the identification of the main biotope conditions (soils, climate) and the main diseases and pests from vineyards and their Economic Level of Damages towards the best solution for keeping these under pressure with minimal interventions. On the other hand, integrating diseases and pest management with additional elements such as fertiliser and agronomic measures was followed. | |
