The Impact of Climate Change on Grape Crops Development in Western Ukraine
Abstract
Climate change is becoming more noticeable and affects agriculture, particularly grape growing, which determines the relevance of research. The aim is to analyse the impact of climate change on the development of grape crops, yield, and quality. To this end, the study was conducted in the temperate climate zone from 2010-2022 by phenological observations and chemical and organoleptic methods. The results indicate a delay in the phenological stages of grapes, particularly budding and earlier flowering, which can affect yield. Changes in the composition of berries have also been identified, including a decrease in vitamin C and anthocyanins and an increase in sugar content due to the increased temperature. Recommendations include the selection of climate-resistant varieties, the use of irrigation systems and moderate watering. The novelty of the research lies in understanding the impact of climate change on grapes in a particular region. It is of strategic importance for the adaptation of agriculture to new conditions. Further research could focus on using cooling and biological products to ensure optimal growing conditions for grapes and increase resilience to climate change.
