Summary: This programme includes: - ampelographic research of
autochthonous and domesticated sorts of grape-vine in Istria and foundation
of gene plasma bank for the purpose of selection, - ampelographic research
of introduced sorts and coriginal culms for improvement of sorts on Istrian
vineyards, possibility of production of quality wines, famous dessert and
sparkling wines, - research in possible application of growth forms for
main high quality sorts in Istria and application of mechanization in work
with vine-plants, - determination of pests and natural enimies in Istrian
vineyards, examination of sensitivity to certain diseases and pests for
integral and directed protection of sorts, - winefication of all sorts and
combinations in experiment, - formation of data base for future research.
Keywords: grape vine, sort, stock, gene plazma bank, winefication, growth form
Research goals: According to the world-wide programme of applied
researcg in wine-growing the following goals are set for the region of
Istria: - finding of optimal agrotechnical and ampelotechnical standard
sorts which include growth form, cutting, choice of stock, application of
complex work mechanization in vineyards and in manufacture, - application
of the latest winefication moodels in production of wines according to
market laws, -collecting of autochthonous sorts from the oldest vineyards
in Istria and nearby vineyard regions, ampelographic research andplantation
formation for gene plazma bank, preservation of these sorts, - introduction
of sorts from other parts to fill up the assortment and improve the quality
in production of special famous wines (desert, sparkling and other wines),
- determination of cultivar, mutants and culms by means of electrophoresis
(isoenzimatic analysis), - determination of viral diseases in standard
autochthonous and introduced sorts, application of meristematic growth
(micropropagation tissue culture technique) in production of viruless
material for parent plants collection, selection of plantations for gene
plazma bank, - winefication in controlled conditions with minimal usage of
artificial means, - formation of data base and joining the world
information system (through cooperation with Italian institute).
