Агроэкологическое обоснование расположения виноградных насаждений для развития винного туризма в Ставропольском крае

For the correct definition and allocation of grape growing area, it is necessary to take into account factors that are related to biological characteristics of grape variety, climate, soil structure, vegetation, hydrology, geological structure, and more. A comprehensive analysis of these factors makes it possible to optimally zone the territories, and identify their potential for growing grapes on an industrial scale. The use of geographic information systems and other modern technologies can greatly facilitate this process, providing more accurate and reliable results. Currently, much attention is being paid to territory zoning in order to determine the resource potential of agricultural landscapes for growing grapes on an industrial scale. This article presents the results on soil and climatic indicators of viticultural and winemaking zone of the Mineralovodsk urban district in the conditions of land use of P(F)E Batrak V.V. village Prikumskoye. Having studied the structure of P(F)E Batrak V.V., it can be c ncluded that this farm has been engaged for a long time in growing table and wine grape varieties, processing raw materials and obtaining high-quality wine production, while promoting these products through wine tourism. This article describes the climatic and soil conditions of the P(F)E Batrak V.V. in order to choose a wine center for the development of wine tourism in the territory of Mineralovodsk urban district of the Stavropol Territory. A team of scientists prepared allocation schemes for the terroir of P(F)E Batrak V.V. using GIS technology methods, and identified the potential of lands suitable for growing grapes. The climatic and soil conditions, as well as table and wine grape varieties grown under land use conditions are described.
