Descriptive elements

<p>Only the principal ampelographic elements enabling the varieties to be characterised and identified are provided. They are presented according to the descriptor code recognised by the International Organisation of Vine and Wine (OIV), the International Union for the Protection of New Varieties of Plants (UPOV), the Community Plant Variety Office (OCVV) and Bioversity International (for more information, see the <a href="/en/vocabulaire">"Ampelographic glossary"</a> menu).<br>
The photographs of leaves and grapes were taken in natural conditions, on the vine, in very similar situations in terms of growing conditions (sandy soil, Mediterranean coast):</p>
<ul>
<li>Domaine de l'Espiguette (IFV), Le Grau du Roi (Gard),</li>
<li>Domaine de Vassal (INRAE), Marseillan (Hérault),</li>
<li>La Gaillarde Campus (Institut Agro | Montpellier SupAgro), Montpellier (Hérault).</li>
</ul>
<p>Only a few photographs, including the tips of bunches, were taken in other conditions.</p>

The identification is based on:
- the tip of the young shoot with a low density of prostrate hairs,
- the green young leaves with bronze spots,
- the shoots with red or red-striped internodes,
- the wedge-shaped adult leaves, with five or seven lobes, an open or very open U-shaped or brace-shaped petiole sinus, small to medium teeth with straight sides, a weak to moderate anthocyanin pigmentation of veins, a flat or slightly twisted, finely blistered leaf blade, and on the lower side of the leaves, a medium density of erect hairs and no prostrate hairs,
- the round-shaped berries.

Phenology

<p>The growth stages indicated are the result of obsrvations made at the Domaine de Vassal Estate where the set of these varieties form a collection. The results are indicated compared to the Chasselas vine variety as a reference in order to make comparisons between years and different sites. As such, for information purposes, the dates for the Chasselas B growth stage at Domaine de Vassal are as follows:</p>
<ul>
<li>Bud burst, 21 March (average over 50 years)</li>
<li>Grape maturity, 14 August (average over 50 years)</li>
</ul>

Bud burst: 5 days before Chasselas.
Grape maturity: early-season, 1 week and a half after Chasselas.

Suitability for cultivation and agronomic production The data on suitability are the result of field observations or, if none are available, of bibliography mining and the study of bibliographic references.

Feteasca neagra is a vigorous variety, fairly well adapted to drought and must be trained and pruned long. Feteasca neagra is moreover resistant to winter frosts but sensitive to spring frosts due to its early budburst.

Susceptibility to diseases and pests These remarks are also the result of field observations or, if none are available, of bibliography mining and study of bibliographic references.

Feteasca neagra is not very susceptible to powdery mildew. It is however more sensitive to downy mildew and grey rot.
