ველურად მოზარდი ვაზის (Vitis vinifera L.) ეკო-გეოგრაფიული გარემო საქართველოში

Abstract

Wildly growing grapevine (Vitis vinifera L.) was a widespread plant in Georgia in previous centuries. Since the 1850s, American fungal diseases (powdery mildew and ash) and phylloxera, as well as human activities (road and house construction, etc.), have led to a dramatic decline in their numbers. Eight forms of wildly growing grapevine (Vitis vinifera L.) have been found in the wild environment of Eastern and Western Georgia since 2003, having many ampelographic traits of cultivated vines. The provided information includes documentation with the use of Geographic Information Systems (GPS) about the geographical location of the discovered plants, exposure, altitude above sea level, affiliation with the river basins, soil types, climatic belts, support trees and plant species around them.
