Exploring the Mechanical Composition of the Armenian Indigenous Grape Varieties “Mormor” and “Chragi Yerkser”

Abstract

This research explores the mechanical composition of Mormor and Chragi Yerkser, rare and unexplored grape varieties indigenous to Armenia. By meticulously examining physical attributes, the research aims to uncover their unique characteristics and potential implications. Investigating these varieties not only enhances knowledge about their cultivation and potential use but also contributes to biodiversity by preserving and promoting lesser-known Armenian grape varieties. This supports the diversity within Armenia’s viticultural landscape and fosters resilience in grape production. The findings are intended to facilitate knowledge exchange among growers and researchers, while ultimately supporting the diversification, sustainability, and competitiveness of Armenia’s wine industry by integrating Mormor and Chragi Yerkser as valuable genetic resources into differentiated product lines.
