In the given section questions of a correct choice of the ground area for establishment of a vineyard at new place are examined, considering high insistence of the sample to heat and light; the question of a choice of soil is connected with reception of a high crop of high quality grapes and products of its processing. Innovational technologies of soil preparation and the territory organization for a vineyard establishment are described, main principles of selection of table and technical grades, their placing on a site are given

In the article the information of a problem of seedless grape berries and a gene fund of seedless grades, the best 44 genotypes from which are presented in color photos is resulted. In industry of the Russian Federation they are cultivated on the area of about 120 hectares. These grades of grapes possess useful signs and properties, are valuable gene-sourсes and donors of polygenes for selection. Among the resulted grades of grapes in Russian zoned assortment of seedless grapes there are only 2 for today. Questions of this direction of researches are closely stated in our manual «Seedless grades of grapes» (Krasnodar: KubSAU, 2008. - 160 p., 58 pics)

In article the characteristics of 111 temporarily permitted grades of grapes, having outstanding ampelographical indicators, basically, for their effective use in amateur wine growing in Russia are resulted. Color images in the form of photos of these grades of grapes are presented in earlier published section 9 of the given collective monograph

In the article the characteristics of 64 perspective grades of grapes which are valuable for production use in southern regions of Russia are resulted. Color images in the form of photos of these grades of grapes are presented in earlier published section 8 of the given collective monograph

In the article the characteristics of 138 zoned grades of grapes included in the State register of the Russian Federation in different years and recommended for cultivation in southern regions of the North Caucasus are resulted. Color images in the form of photos of these grades of grapes are presented in earlier published section 7 of the given collective monograph

In the article the color photos of 111 temporarily allowed grades of grapes having outstanding characteristics, basically, for their effective use in amateur winegrowing of Russia are presented. They are actively involved by selectors as initial forms

In the article the innovations developed by the department are presented. The short characteristic of the basic forms of the bushes applied at vineyards in zones of uncovered, conditionally covered and covered vine growing is given. New energy and resource saving technologies of cultivation of grape are examined

In the article the short description of theoretical bases of vine bushes trimming, ways of trimming, methods of setting the optimum loading of a bushes when trimming, optimum terms of trimming young and fructifying plantings, key rules and techniques of trimming of bushes are specified

In this article the questions of rational placing of bushes on sites when establishing new vineyards are taken up; requirements to a planting material - to cuttings and transplants imparted and own-rooted, one-year and vegetative, technologies of their preparation for planting and planting by different ways, etc. are concerned

The article highlights the questions of a preliminary determination of vineyard yield, studying the dynam-ics of sugar content in berries, harvesting methods of handheld and mechanized grape harvesters. We have also presented color photographs of functioning har-vesters in the vineyards
