Potential Associations among Bioactive Molecules, Antioxidant Activity and Resveratrol Production in Vitis vinifera Fruits of North America.

Grapes (Vitis vinifera L.) are rich in bioactive molecules contributing to health benefits. Consumption of grapes is linked to reduced incidence of cardiovascular diseases. Studies on table grape cultivars are limited although much attention in research was focused on the wine industry. Bioactive effects of grapes as anti-inflammatory, anticarcinogenic, cardioprotective, vasorelaxant, phytoestrogenic and neuroprotective have also been reported. For example, resveratrol is a natural food ingredient present in grapes, with high antioxidant potential. Here we conducted an exploratory study to investigate bioactive molecules, antioxidant activity and the association between constitutive stilbene synthase (STS) gene expression and the resveratrol biosynthesis in selected table grape varieties in North America. The phenolic compounds, fatty acid composition and antioxidant activity of four grape varieties were compared. Red Globe variety was rich in unsaturated fatty acids as well as phenolic compounds such as caffeic acid, quercetin and resveratrol. Meanwhile, the constitutive expression of grape stilbene synthase gene was higher in Flame and Autumn Royal where resveratrol content of these cultivars was relatively low compared to the Red Globe variety. This study shows the potential links in grape antioxidant activity and resveratrol production, but more studies are necessary to show the association.

АНАЛИЗ РЕГЕНЕРАЦИОННОЙ АКТИВНОСТИ VITIS VINIFERA В УСЛОВИЯХ IN VITRO

Obtaining healthy planting material valuable in terms of economic characteristics of agricultural crops is an advanced task for import substitution and development of own production of high-quality products. The technology of cells and tissues in vitro by the method of clonal micropropagation makes it possible to improve the health of plant material and replicate it in large volumes without changing the genotype of the culture. At the same time, an important component is the regenerative activity of plants, the individual factor is different depending on the breed and variety. The research was conducted in the laboratory "Biotechnology of Agricultural Plants" of the Chechen State University named after A.A. Kadyrov in 2021-2022. The main purpose of the research was to study the regenerative activity of micro-runs of grape varieties obtained in vitro conditions by the apical meristem method. The dynamics of the formation and development of the root system of table grape varieties, the reproduction rate and other parameters at each stage of the technology of microclonal reproduction in vitro conditions are studied. The results of plant development in vitro conditions indicate a high percentage of plant rooting. When studying and evaluating the regenerative activity of Vitis Vinifera, it was found that all the studied varieties are sufficiently rooted after 50-55 days in sterile conditions. By this time, it is possible to transfer microplants to adapt to in vivo conditions, with an average survival rate of 95%. The results obtained in the studies can be used to work with cell and tissue culture in the biotechnology of fruit crops and grapes, as well as in fruit growing and nursery to obtain healthy and homogeneous planting material.

Assessment of agricultural techniques of grape cultivation in arid conditions of southern Russia based on analysis of variance

The aim of the research was to assess the effectiveness of agricultural techniques for growing table grapes in the arid conditions of southern Russia. The research is relevant, since the improvement of agricultural techniques for growing grapes improves its growth and development, marketability of products, and increases plant resistance to diseases. The experiments were carried out in a vineyard located on the light chestnut soils of the Astrakhan region. The number of grape bushes is 1250.0 pieces/hectare. Water-soluble fertilizers were tested separately and in combination on plantings of table grape varieties of early, middle and late ripening. The concentration of aqueous solutions of fertilizers was 0.3 % for Plantafol and 0.1 % for Boroplus. The high efficiency of foliar dressings is achieved when they are carried out in certain phases of the plant’s growing season. The background was a mineral fertilizer - Ca(H2PO4) 2 × H2O at the end of each growing season (60.0 kg a. s./he), as well as N16P16K16 (64.0 kg a. s./he) before bud break and before flowering. A strong dependence of the efficiency of growing grapes on the interaction of varietal samples and applied fertilizers has been established. At the same time, additional products were obtained according to the options for applying fertilizers for different varieties in the range of 2.5-6.1 t/hectare.

Prevalence and Genetic Diversity of Grapevine Virus D in Tunisia

The prevalence and the genetic diversity of grapevine virus D (GVD) isolates from rootstocks, wine and table grape varieties grown in Tunisia were studied. RT-PCR assays performed on the coat protein gene (CP) showed the presence of GVD in 31.5% of the 403 samples tested. The highest rate of infection was found in table grapes (56.5%), followed by autochthonous table grapes (24.1%), wine grapes (20.8%) and rootstocks (12.5%). Sequences and phylogenetic analyses of the partial CP genes 14 GVD isolates showed nucleotide identities that ranged from 84% to 99%. The Tunisian GVD-isolates segregated in 3 phylogenetic groups together with international isolates reported in GenBank. The present study extends our knowledge of the presence of GVD in Tunisian vines and on its genetic diversity, which is useful for developing broad-spectrum molecular diagnostics (RT-PCR) capable of detecting the different isolates infecting vines.

Determining the pectinesterase enzyme activity when storing table grape varieties depending on the degree of ripening

Grapes are rich in easily digestible carbohydrates, mineral compounds, vitamins, phenolic compounds. and other vital components. It is known that fresh grapes can be used from September to December. To prolong the terms of consumption of this valuable raw material, the most appropriate varieties and conditions for storing grapes have been determined. White, pink, and red grape varieties were taken as the object of research. The changes in the activity of the pectinesterase enzyme were determined depending on the degree of ripening of table grape varieties, the change in the pectinesterase enzyme during storage of table grape varieties in various variants was investigated. Statistical processing and calculation of variations in the indicators of changes in the activity of the enzyme pectinesterase were performed, depending on the degree of ripening of grapes of the Shamakhi Marandi variety. During the study, the pectinesterase enzyme remained more stable in mature varieties. This means that in ripe table grape varieties, the absorption of nutrients in the respiratory process is significantly slowed down. However, as they mature, the activity of the pectinesterase enzyme gradually increases. Therefore, for long-term storage in refrigerated chambers, fully ripe varieties of table grapes were used; to this end, grapes of the white Ganja table variety, the pink Shamakhi Marandi variety, and the red Black Asma variety are more suitable. The comparison of the investigated variants showed that table grape varieties, when stored in a refrigerated chamber in a controlled atmosphere, at 3–4 % CO2 and 2–3 % O2, retain better quality than other variants. When storing table grape varieties of various variants in the refrigerator, the enzyme activity decreases but is not completely suppressed.

A real-time table grape detection method based on improved YOLOv4-tiny network in complex background

Accurate identification of table grapes is crucial to the harvesting process of the grape picking robot. This paper proposes an efficient grape detection model, YOLO-Grape, to solve the problem of unrecognition or decreased recognition accuracy caused by the complicated growth environment, shadows of branches and leaves, and overlapping grapes. To improve the network recognition accuracy, a down-sampling fusion structure is integrated into the network, and the Mish activation function is used. Meanwhile, an attention mechanism is added to the network, and the non-maximum suppression (NMS) function is replaced with the soft non-maximum suppression (Soft-NMS) function, thereby reducing the missing of predicted boxes due to overlapping grapes. Besides, the depthwise separable convolution is introduced to improve the detection speed of the network. In addition, transfer learning is used in the training process to improve the detection accuracy and generalization ability of the model. On the test data set of 700 grape images, the experimental results show that YOLO-Grape achieves an F1-score of 90.47%, a mAP of 91.08% and a detection speed of 81 frames per second. Compared with Faster-RCNN(Resnet50), SSD300, YOLOv4, and YOLOv4-tiny, the mAP of the YOLO-Grape model is increased by 1.67%, 2.28%, 0.84%, and 6.69%, respectively. The average recognition speeds of the YOLO-Grape model were 31.15, 3.38 and 6.45 times of Faster-RCNN(Resnet50), SSD300, and YOLOv4 respectively. Through four sets of comparative experiments, it is found that the proposed YOLO-Grape model achieves high recognition accuracy for occluded grapes, meeting the requirements of grape picking robots for real-time detection of multiple varieties of table grapes in complex situations. • Attention mechanism and soft-NMS function added to YOLO-grape network. • The YOLO-grape model is able to accurately identify six varieties of grapes. • YOLO-grape identifies obscured grapes with a mAP of 89.93%. • The detection speed of the YOLO-Grape model is 81 frames per second (1050Ti).

Climate change in a typical Apulian region for table grape production: spatialisation of bioclimatic indices, classification and Future Scenarios

The present research focused on the characterisation of climate evolution in a typical Apulian region for table grape production under the protected geographical indication, “Uva di Puglia I.G.P.”Two thirty-year time window period (TW) were analysed: 1961-1990 and 1991-2020. Georeferenced maps for both TWs were produced to delimit homogeneous zones and to evaluate the climate variability within the investigated area by means of the two bioclimatic indices, Heliothermal Index (HI) and Winkler Index (WI). Spatial analysis of HI and WI was performed using the regression-kriging (RK) interpolation method and the Digital Elevation Model/DEM (10 x 10 m) as a prediction attribute.An increase in both the minimum and maximum temperatures was observed, and locations above 300 m a.s.l. shifted from HI+1 “temperate warm” to HI+2 “warm” according to the Geoviticulture Multicriteria Climatic Classification System. WI values similarly increased between the periods 1961–1990 and 1991–2020, shifting all the sites grouped in the Elevation Classes defined as being below 300 m a.s.l. from Region IV to Region V of the Winkler Classification.According to HI and WI, presumed maturity was calculated as being reached 9 to 15 (HI) and 12 to 28 days (WI) earlier in 1991–2020 than in 1961–1990, taking into account the heat requirements of cv. Italia table grape (representative of Apulian table grape production), were set at 2200 for both indices on the basis of literature data.Moreover, three table grape vineyards, located in the three main producing provinces of Apulia (Bari, Taranto and Barletta-Andria-Trani (BAT)), were considered for future scenarios analysis on the basis of two different Representative Concentration Pathways (RCPs), 4.5 and 8.5, and classified according to the Geoviticulture Multicriteria Climatic Classification System (MCC). Future scenarios scored WI values that exceeded the threshold of 2700 in the BAT and TA provinces in the 2061–2090 time window period for RCP 8.5. In contrast, RCP 4.5 led to a mitigating effect, which was not noticeable until 2040, with a consequent reclassification of the investigated areas on the basis of HI and Cool Night Index (CI).These findings suggest that in order to prevent or overcome heat stress, it will be necessary to implement strategies, such as vineyard relocation to unexplored elevations or latitudes and/or the exploitation of new table grape varieties able to fulfill the optimal maturity parameters, even when the duration of the phenological phases is shorter.

Comparison of sugars, organic acids and aroma components of five table grapes in Xinjiang

The sugar, organic acid and aroma Components are very important quality characteristics of fruits. In this study, sugars, organic acids and volatile substances in five varieties of Xinjiang table grape pulp were determined by high-performance liquid chromatography and gas chromatography-mass spectrometry. The results showed that among the five varieties of table grapes in Xinjiang, fructose and glucose were the main sugars, accounting for 46.53-48.82% and 49.35-51.49% of the total sugar content, respectively. Tartaric acid and malic acid were the main organic acids, accounting for 55.72-60.07% and 28.54-39.52% of the total organic acids, respectively. The composition of sugars and organic acids ratio plays a significant role in the taste of table grapes. The sweetness of Red Globe was the highest while the acidity of Centennial Seedless was the highest. In addition, 87 varieties of volatile compounds were identified in table grape pulp with aldehydes as the major compounds (30.93-71.83%). In particular, trans-2-hexenal accounted for 19.33-44.56% of the total volatiles. Analysis of active odorants showed that nerol, geraniol, (Z)-3-hexenal, trans-2-hexenal, phenylacetaldehyde, citral and β-myrcene had great contributions to the flavors of Centennial Seedless and Muscat Hamburg, providing flowery, fruity, green and grassy flavors. Hexanol, trans-2-hexen-1-ol, damascone and ethyl butyrate had great contributions to the flavors of Rizamat, providing flowery, green and fruity flavors. Nonanal and 1-octen-3-one had great contributions to the flavors of Manaizi, providing mushroom and fruity flavors. The results provided the complete chemical characteristics of sugar, organic acids and volatile compounds of five varieties of table grapes in Xinjiang, China.

Phenolics composition and contents, as the key quality parameters of table grapes, may be influenced obviously and differently in response to short-term high temperature

Although the grape surface appears to be normal under high temperature during the selling period, the nutritional quality of grape might be greatly affected. Phenolics content and composition are key indicators reflective of grape's nutritional quality. Herein, the paper investigated effects of short-term high temperature (40 °C; 2 h) on grape phenolics from five table grape varieties to evaluate grape quality. Twenty-three phenolics were identified and quantified through UHPLC-ESI-qTOF-MS2 and UHPLC-QQQ-MS2, respectively. The results observed that short-term high temperature significantly reduced flavonoids in European and American varieties. In Eurasian varieties, high temperature induced the accumulation of stilbenes and flavonols compounds while lowered other compounds. Myricetin 4′-methylether-3-O-rhamnoside, a differential metabolite responding to high temperature in all table grapes was screened. Combining with the analysis of molecular level, high temperature down-regulated the phenolics biosynthesis-related genes involved in phenolics metabolic pathways (flavonols, stilbenes, anthocyanins and flavan-3-ols metabolic pathways) in grapes except Muscat de Hambourg grapes, such as the expression of VvUFGT, VvANR, VvLAR, VvFLS, VvSTS, VvF3′5′H and VvAOMT. Our findings suggest that short-term high temperature during the selling period is not conducive to consumer expectations, due to the partial loss of grape nutrition quality.

Effects of Several Preharvest Canopy Applications on Yield and Quality of Table Grapes (Vitis vinifera L.) Cv. Crimson Seedless.

Modern viticultural areas are being confronted with the negative impacts of global warming on yield and fruit composition, with especially adverse effects on anthocyanin synthesis. Novel and sustainable tools, such as biostimulants, may represent a viable alternative to traditional cultural practices, thus promoting eco-friendly strategies to enhance the yield, fruit quality and abiotic stress tolerance of grapevines. ‘Crimson Seedless’ is a late-season red table grape variety, and due to climatic warming, its berries are frequently failing to acquire the commercially acceptable red color. Canopy applications of different biostimulants, namely, Kelpak®, Sunred®, Cytolan®, LalVigne™ Mature as well as Ethrel® Top, were tested on grapevine cv. Crimson Seedless grown under semi-arid Mediterranean conditions in order to evaluate their effects on yield and fruit quality. Some of the products were sprayed in canopies at labeled doses, and some were applied at doses reported in other studies. For the control treatment, canopies were sprayed with water. Sampling started at veraison and was repeated at 10-day intervals to measure the evolution of berry weight, length and diameter, as well as the total soluble solids and titratable acidity of the juice. The grapes were harvested when the berries of one of the treatments attained the commercially acceptable color. The greatest improvements in the red berry color were achieved with Sunred® (at a dose of 4 L ha−1) and Ethrel® Top (250 ppm plus glycerol at 1%), each applied at veraison and 10 days later. The different applications had varying effects on productivity and qualitative parameters. Only Sunred® improved the accumulation of anthocyanin and the overall acceptability of table grapes by consumers. The obtained results clearly demonstrate that applying Sunred® can improve the yield and qualitative parameters of the red table grape variety ‘Crimson Seedless’, indicating that this biostimulant could be a viable alternative to the most widely used plant growth regulator, ethephon.

Grapevine red blotch virus is sporadically present in a germplasm collection in Northern Italy

Limited information is available on the distribution of grapevine red blotch virus (GRBV) in grape-growing regions outside North America. In this study, the presence of GRBV was investigated in 596 grapevine samples coming from different sources in Northern Italy, including rootstock and table grape accessions from ampelographic collections, and commercial varieties with red blotch-like symptoms. Only ‘Queen’ and ‘Incrocio Dalmasso VIII-5’ accessions, collected from the CREA-Viticulture and Enology repository of table grape varieties, tested positive for GRBV. Sequencing of fragments from replication and coat protein genes revealed that the two accessions were infected with GRBV isolates belonging to two distinct lineages. While the American origin of ‘Queen’ could explain the GRBV presence in this accession, the viral infection of the Italian ‘Incrocio Dalmasso VIII-5’ remains an unsolved mystery.

Potential and Actual Bud Fruitfulness: A Tool for Predicting and Managing the Yield of Table Grape Varieties

Microscopic bud dissection can be used to assess grapevine bud fruitfulness prior to winter pruning and long before actual bud fruitfulness can be measured in the vineyard the following spring. Bud dissections should be performed by qualified and trained personnel because inflorescence primordia are difficult to distinguish in some varieties. In the Puglia region, Southeastern Italy, in 2018 and 2019, potential fruitfulness using bud dissection and actual fruitfulness observed in the vineyard were compared for seventeen table grape varieties. The percentage of fertile buds, the number of inflorescence primordia (IP) per node, and the incidence of primary bud necrosis (PBN) were detected with bud dissection to be used either for managing winter pruning or for predicting yield during the successive season. The data were successively compared with fertile buds and actual bud fruitfulness observed in the vineyard during spring. The table grape varieties examined had similar values of fertile buds and fruitfulness both with bud dissection and in the vineyard. The application of longitudinal sections in bud dissections can be an alternative approach (or can be integrated into traditional cross sections) to distinguish IP in some difficult varieties, but the two techniques can be used together for more repeatable results. The bud dissection technique (with both cross and longitudinal sections) can provide useful insights for viticulturist to help guide winter pruning (intensity of pruning and number of canes) and to predict potential yield.

АЛАДДИН – МОРОЗОСТОЙКИЙ СТОЛОВЫЙ СОРТ ВИНОГРАДА

The most promising way to reduce the need for fungicides in viticulture is the use of re-sistant cultivars. In this regard, an urgent task is the selection of table grape varieties with increased resistance to diseases and frost in combination with high marketability and taste. The article discusses the results of a fif-teen-year study of the promising table variety Aladdin. The variety is interspecific hybrid obtained from a saturating crossing Vostorg krasnyy × Vostorg muskatniy at All-Russian Research Institute for Viticulture and Wine-making– Branch of Federal State Budget Sci-entific Institution «FRARC». The Aladdin variety was compared with the regionalized table variety Vostorg, which is also the paren-tal form in the second generation. The viticul-ture is not irrigated, grafted, not covered, the training is fan type on trunk, the planting scheme is 3 × 1.5 m. In the variety study, the methods generally accepted in viticulture and the standard technology of cultivation of vineyards were used. The Aladdin variety is distinguished by an early ripening period, large berries, medium-sized bunches, firm pulp, attractive berry color, light muscat aro-ma. The variety has a proven genetic high re-sistance to powdery mildew and mildew, high frost resistance is confirmed by the data of agrobiological records. According to the total-ity of economically valuable traits, resistance to unfavorable biotic and abiotic environmen-tal factors, the Aladdin variety can be recom-mended for transfer to the State variety test-ing of the Russian Federation.

3DeepM: An Ad Hoc Architecture Based on Deep Learning Methods for Multispectral Image Classification

Current predefined architectures for deep learning are computationally very heavy and use tens of millions of parameters. Thus, computational costs may be prohibitive for many experimental or technological setups. We developed an ad hoc architecture for the classification of multispectral images using deep learning techniques. The architecture, called 3DeepM, is composed of 3D filter banks especially designed for the extraction of spatial-spectral features in multichannel images. The new architecture has been tested on a sample of 12210 multispectral images of seedless table grape varieties: Autumn Royal, Crimson Seedless, Itum4, Itum5 and Itum9. 3DeepM was able to classify 100% of the images and obtained the best overall results in terms of accuracy, number of classes, number of parameters and training time compared to similar work. In addition, this paper presents a flexible and reconfigurable computer vision system designed for the acquisition of multispectral images in the range of 400 nm to 1000 nm. The vision system enabled the creation of the first dataset consisting of 12210 37-channel multispectral images (12 VIS + 25 IR) of five seedless table grape varieties that have been used to validate the 3DeepM architecture. Compared to predefined classification architectures such as AlexNet, ResNet or ad hoc architectures with a very high number of parameters, 3DeepM shows the best classification performance despite using 130-fold fewer parameters than the architecture to which it was compared. 3DeepM can be used in a multitude of applications that use multispectral images, such as remote sensing or medical diagnosis. In addition, the small number of parameters of 3DeepM make it ideal for application in online classification systems aboard autonomous robots or unmanned vehicles.

Year, Location, and Variety Impact on Grape-, Soil-, and Leaf-Associated Fungal Microbiota of Arkansas-Grown Table Grapes.

With the recent advancement of next-generation sequencing methods, there has been an increase in studies on identification of vineyard microbiota, winery-associated microbiota, and microbiota in wine fermentation. However, there have been few studies investigating the fungal microbiota of table grapes which present distinct spoilage and food safety challenges. The aims of this study were to identify and compare the impact of year, variety, and vineyard location on grape, leaf, and soil fungal communities of two varieties of table grapes, Faith and Gratitude, grown in two open-air vineyards and one high tunnel vineyard. The grape, leaf, and soil mycobiota were analyzed using highthroughput amplicon sequencing of the ITS region. The sampling year and location of table grapes had an impact on grape, leaf, and soil mycobiota. Fungal diversity of grape, leaf, and soil was greater in 2017 than in 2016. Grape and leaf samples presented strong similarities in fungal communities with abundance of Sporidiobolaceae and Filobasidium in two vineyards and Cladosporium in another one. The high tunnel structure had distinct grape and leaf fungal communities compared to the two other vineyard locations. Mortierella was the predominant genus (27%) in soil samples for the three locations; however, genera of lower abundance varied between locations. These results provide extensive description of fungal communities in less-studied table grape vineyards and high tunnels, providing useful insight of potential threats and preventive strategies to help improve the production and marketability of table grapes.

A comparative study of phenolic composition and antioxidant activity in commercial and experimental seedless table grapes cultivated in a Mediterranean climate

Grapes are important sources of phenolic compounds, which have multiple beneficial effects on human health. Scientific advances in the field of genetics have allowed the production of seedless table grape varieties, which are highly demanded by consumers because of their nutritional value and their easy consumption. In this study, total phenolic content (TPC), radical scavenging activity (RSA) and total anthocyanin content (TAC), were determined in 65 seedless table grape varieties (41 experimental and 24 commercial varieties). Ultra-high performance liquid chromatography coupled to an ion-trap mass spectrometry detector (UHPLC-IT-MS/MS) was used to identify and quantify some phenolic acids, flavan-3-ols, flavonols and stilbenes in 14 experimental varieties. TPC ranged from 17 to 250 mg gallic acid equivalents/100 g fresh weight (FW), RSA ranged from 15 to 269 mg Trolox equivalents/100 g FW and TAC ranged from 0 to 168 mg cyanidin-3-glucoside/100 g FW. The RSA assay showed high correlation (R2 = 0.90) between the TPC and the antioxidant activity of the 65 seedless table grapes analyzed. In the vast majority of the new experimental varieties analyzed, the TPC and TAC were similar to those of some common table grapes with seeds, indicating promising perspectives for their commercialization as potential sources of these bioactive compounds. In 6 grape varieties, high concentrations of catechin, procyanidin B2, epicatechin, quercetin 3-β-d-glucoside, 4-hydroxybenzoic acid, vanillic acid, caftaric acid and rutin were found, which would indicate that the regular intake of these varieties would be highly recommended.

Search for donors of powdery mildew resistance genes among seedless and table grape varieties

Powdery mildew (Erysiphe necator) is one of the most common and economically significant diseases of grapes. Currently, the main method of controlling the disease is pesticide treatment. Breeding of resistant varieties is necessary to reduce chemical treatments. Currently, a number of grape resistance genes to powdery mildew and DNA markers for identification the allelic status of these genes are known. In a study to determine the presence of resistance loci Ren3 and Ren9, 25 genotypes of table grape varieties were analyzed, including 18 seedless varieties. DNA markers GF15-42, ScORGF15-02 were used to identify Ren3 gene, and CenGen6 – to identify Ren9 gene. DNA of cultivars Regent and Seyve Villard 12-375, which have resistance alleles, were used as positive controls. As a result of DNA marker analysis, it was determined that genotypes of table varieties Viking, Kodryanka, Moldova, Nadezhda AZOS, Original and seedless varieties Pamyati Smirnova, Kishmish Zaporozhskiy and Kishmish 342 carry loci of resistance to powdery mildew Ren3 and Ren9.

Productivity and quality of grapevine yield when using micronutrient fertilizers of new generation in the conditions of Crimea

The article presents the results of studies of 2019-2020, carried out in the soil and climatic conditions of Crimean Mountain-valley viticultural zone on table grape variety ‘Italia’. It was experimentally determined that five-fold foliar treatment of grape plantations with gel fertilizers has led to a significant increase in the average length of annual shoots by 15 cm (9.2%) and an increase in the green matter of bushes by 165.1 cm3 (9.1%). It was found that using of preparations of experimental system of mineral nutrition manufactured by Agrinos and Lima-Europe companies during two growing seasons of grape plants has led to an increase in the average bunch weight by 42.9 g (7.4%), shoot productivity by 8.1% and an increase in the cropping capacity by 1.8 t/ha (10.2%) in comparison with the control. Using of the studied mineral gel fertilizers against the background of increasing grape productivity did not affect the process of sugar accumulation and the level of titratable acids. The studies showed that two-year fertilizer utilization of the studied system of mineral nutrition contributed to a significant increase in organoleptic characteristics of table grapes.
