PRELIMINARY STUDIES ON THE INFLUENCE OF THE CLIMATE ON THE PHENOLOGY OF THE VARIETIES FOR BLACK GRAPEVINES GROWN IN THE BANU MĂRĂCINE VITICULTURAL CENTER

Each wine-growing area is characterized by the presence of a complex of climatic, edaphic and anthropogenic factors, which can influence the moment of the onset of the phenophases, the duration of the phenophases, the quality and quantity of grape production, depending on the genetic characteristics of the varieties, the specific climatic conditions of the crop year and by the applied technology. Starting from these considerations, the present work represents a preliminary stage of a case study regarding the observation of how 3 grape varieties: Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot and Fetească neagra go through the main phenophases in the climatic conditions specific to the Banu Maracine wine center in the year 2023, as well as the evaluation of the productive results obtained. The study proves to be important in the context of the changes found in the course of the phenophases as a result of the climate changes that have occurred in recent years.
