Abstract

Microregioning (zoning) in viticulture is used to identify the natural habitat of each variety, one that
complies with all its biological requirements to cultivation, optimal growth, development, productivity and
high grape quality. The study took place on the land of Kramolin village. A database of soil parameters was
created and the climatic characteristics, necessary for GIS, were processed statistically for the establishment
of viticulture microregions in the area of Suhindol. Triangulated Irregular Networks (ТІN) were developed
for the terrain surface of the relief and distribution of the total vegetation temperature.
