Abstract

Disease and pest control is a very important and costly technological phase that significantly influences the success of grape yield. The research was carried out in a vineyard from Buzias-Silagiu area, focusing on both table and wine grape varieties. The experimental trial was organized in plots with three different complex treatments and analysed their influence on the total and one-year-old wood growth, photosynthetic yield, grape yield quality and quantity, and economic indicators. The growing seasons, during which observations were made varied climatically, resulting in conclusive and informative findings. The experimental plots significantly influenced all the monitored indicators, with the impacts varying depending on the climate conditions during each year. In years with favourable conditions for grapevine growing, vineyard management with a smaller number of treatments proved to be efficient. In contrast, during years with less favourable climate conditions, the reliable experimental strategy that achieved satisfactory results was the complex treatments applied for disease and pest control.
