Scientific support of the viticulture–winemaking industry of russia’s agroindustrial complex

Abstract

Substantial changes in the global and domestic wine market have made it necessity to modify the technologies of producing high-quality wines, to decrease production costs, and to ensure food safety. Proceeding from the long-standing analysis of the industry’s economy, climatic and agrocenotic changes, and topical research and practice tasks, a number of fundamental scientific problems are formulated that should be solved to obtain new knowledge in order to increase the efficiency and competitiveness of the sector’s production. The dynamics and development of cenotic interconnections and physiological–biochemical processes in the components of agroecosystems, which are predetermined by the significant edaphoclimatic differentiation of viticulture zones and microzones, as well as by a number of other factors, require continuous research and development of preventive measures to maintain agrocoenoses in highly productive conditions, the creation and adaptation of assortments, epiphytotic prevention, and bringing the technologies into accordance with the level of production development.
