The Makedonas is a new wine higher quality black grape’s variety, was found out by Panteley Zamanidi and Leonid Troshin in 2001 in Greece and created by hybridization between Ksinomavro and Cabernet Sauvignon varieties. It’s belong to the group of Black see pool varieties on morphologic-physiological characteristics (convar. pontica subconvar. balcanica Negr.). The variety is used for making dry red wines of excellent quality. It is very perspective variety in Southern zones of Europe where the grape couldn’t get good acidity in the juice of berries

In article there are new modern technologies of using young vineyards, which help to give higher growth of roots and shoots, higher degree of life and coming in full fruitless in time. It is the most fast and easy method of using tendril, clips and forcing of wires of the system Gripple [3].

In the article color photos of perspective grades of grapes of the North Caucasus, having valuable characteristics for their use for production workers of the south of Russia and selectors as initial forms are presented. These grades are certified as perspective on the basis of long-term studying by originators and statements of Gov. sort committee of the Russian Federation after insertion into the State sorts book

The leading place among different methods of clone selection of grapes takes the method of professor A.S. Merganian. This method is put the base of modern clone selection which provides a reliable results on practice.

The grade of grapes "Academician Eryomin" is introduced in Greece by P.Zamanidi and L.Troshin in 2002 by crossing of Greek Trapsa grade with French Alikant Bush. Duration of production period is 146-155 days. Productivity is very high. The average weight of clusters is 230 gr. It differs by high winter hardiness, drought resistance and raised stability to mushroom illnesses in comparison with grades of Vitis vinifera. The flower is hermaphroditic. Grapes are average size, conic, average density. A berry of average size, roundish, blue-black color, with dense wax touch. A peel is tight. Pulp and juice are intensively painted, with the sort taste. Sugar content is high. Grapes are dried when overripen, concentration of sugars thus reaches 30 and more units. The grade is intended for manufacturing of intensively painted dry red wines of an excellent class, and also high-quality dessert and sweet wines; it is suitable for manufacturing of high-quality juices as well

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 innovational section the results of researches of application of “RADIKS” biologically active substance are presented at prelanding processing of cuttings and desktop inoculations on an amount and quality of own-rooted, imparted and vegetative grapes saplings

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 this article 40-years changes of variety structure of grape plantings of south Russian Federation by following subjects: the Kabardino-Balkarian Republic, Karachaevo-Circassian Republic, Krasnodar territory, Republic Adygea, Republic Dagestan, Republic Ingushetia, Republic Northern Ossetia-Alania, the Rostov area, Stavropol Territory and the Chechen Republic are analyzed. About 98% of vineyards of the Russian Federation is located there as well as 138 table, technical and universal varieties. Only current year of 2009 added 10 table and 9 technical varieties, which are the last achievements of modern selection
