This paper aims at studying the favorability of the cultivation of the ʻVictoriaʼ table grape variety in the Hinova viticultural area, Mehedinti County, in a non-irrigated system. The research was carried out in 2017. After determining the viability of the buds losses were found, so there were studied 3 different fruit loads to follow the number of buds started from the vegetation and to meet the number of shoots required for the study. Once this requirement has been fulfilled, the work of normalizing the inflorescences was carried out, taking into consideration 5 variants, namely: 6, 8, 10, 12, 14 inflorescences/vine. The evolution of these fruit variants was followed up until reaching the full maturity stage, with the harvesting of the grapes resulting in the deliverable production of each variant of the studied fruit load. The conclusion of this study is that Hinova viticultural area in Mehedinti County is favorable to the cultivation of the ʻVictoriaʼ vine variety in a non-irrigated system, only if a moderate fruit load is respected, thus obtaining quality grapes.
