According to the survey, there are practically no temperature restrictions concerning the production of edible table grapes in the region. The zones best suited for planting grapes to be freshly consumed \u00a0are the western area of the states of Bahia, Pernambuco and Para\u00edba and almost all of Rio Grande do Norte, Cear\u00e1, Piau\u00ed and Maranh\u00e3o. In these zones, the authors recommend that this type of vine be pruned between July and September. The territory with good potential for wine grapes is a little different and includes Bahia, Pernambuco, Para\u00edba, Alagoas, Sergipe and southwest Maranh\u00e3o. The authors recommend that in these areas the vines be pruned in May and June. One of the great concerns of anyone who grows grapes in semi-arid zones is avoiding areas where the climate is too hot. This produces grapes with extremely high sugar levels and consequently a wine with a lot of alcohol and little acidity. In addition to using climate data from the Northeast, the study adopted the It\u00e1lia and Sugraone table grapes and the Syrah wine grape varieties as the models of grapes which have adapted to the region.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Study maps out areas most suitable for growing grapes","protected":false},"author":6,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"_exactmetrics_skip_tracking":false,"_exactmetrics_sitenote_active":false,"_exactmetrics_sitenote_note":"","_exactmetrics_sitenote_category":0,"footnotes":""},"categories":[168],"tags":[153],"coauthors":[785],"class_list":["post-41530","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-technoscience","tag-agronomy"],"acf":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/revistapesquisa.fapesp.br\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/41530","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/revistapesquisa.fapesp.br\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/revistapesquisa.fapesp.br\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/revistapesquisa.fapesp.br\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/6"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/revistapesquisa.fapesp.br\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=41530"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/revistapesquisa.fapesp.br\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/41530\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/revistapesquisa.fapesp.br\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=41530"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/revistapesquisa.fapesp.br\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=41530"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/revistapesquisa.fapesp.br\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=41530"},{"taxonomy":"author","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/revistapesquisa.fapesp.br\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/coauthors?post=41530"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
