Clonal Selection of Autochthonous Grape Varieties in Badacsony, Hungary

As the sensitivity of perennial crops to climate change becomes more pronounced, clonal selection, which is already very time-consuming for grapevine, may take even longer, while its importance is increasing. In the case of indigenous grapevine varieties, the purpose of clonal selection is twofold:...

description As the sensitivity of perennial crops to climate change becomes more pronounced, clonal selection, which is already very time-consuming for grapevine, may take even longer, while its importance is increasing. In the case of indigenous grapevine varieties, the purpose of clonal selection is twofold: to mitigate problems of cultivation and at the same time, to preserve the varietal character. The cultivation technique issue of ‘Kéknyelű’ is the low fertility (functionally female-flowered variety), and as for ‘Juhfark’ it is the significant susceptibility to grey rot. Based on daily meteorological data of 11 years, the years were classified into 3 groups and harvest data were analyzed within each group. Significant difference in yield was found between clone B.2. and the base ‘Kéknyelű’. Both clones of ‘Kéknyelű’ matured with significantly lower pH compared to the base variety. Given the acidic character of ‘Kéknyelű’ wine and the predicted rise in must °Brix and pH as a result of climate change, these differences may be useful in the future. <i>Botrytis</i> infection only showed statistically significant differences between year groups for ‘Juhfark’. It is intriguing that in most years, the rate of grey rot infection was lower in both clones compared to the base variety, especially in year groups 1 and 3 when the overall rate of <i>Botrytis</i> infection was quite low.
