A comparative study of different pruning ways and bud load, as well as their influence on growth, yield and quality of Rhine Riesling B-21, Riesling Italian, and Zupljanka vine cultivars in the conditions of the Rasina vine district, during the period 2000 - 2001, is given in this paper. This research results have shown that grape yield and quality varied, and the greatest grape yield was observed in the variant with the greatest bud load. The Rhine Riesling B-21 demonstrated the best results.

The effects of foliar application of paclobutrasol (PK), chlorcholinechloride (CC) and gibberellic acid (GA₃) on grape yield and quality of the grapevine cultivar Limberger were studied. PK and CC strongly inhibited shoot growth. The number of berries per bunch, bunch weight and grape yield per m² were increased. At the same time, sugar content of must was either reduced (CC2000) or retained at the level of control (PK1000, CC1000). The GA150 treatment resulted in lower grape yield.

Comparative studies on new wine-grape varieties and clones developed at Sremski Karlovci, on the Experimental estate of Agricultural Faculty, Novi Sad, were conducted in the 1997-1999 period. The studies comprised varieties Neoplanta (Smederevka x Traminer), Petra (Kunbarat x Pinot noir), Early Riesling (Riesling italico x Kunbarat) and clones of the variety Riesling italico: SK13, SK54, SK61.

In the period 1997-1999 comparative researches of the white wine varieties were conducted, viz. Smederevka, Italian Riezling, Riezling weisser (clone 239 Gm), Sauvignon white, Pinot blanc and Chardonnay (clone R8). In the first three years of the growing fertility of these varieties, their main biological characteristics and grape quality could be determined.
