ABSTRACT: This study aimed to characterize the phenology and thermal requirements of grapevine cultivars Bordô, BRS Carmem, BRS Lorena, BRS Magna, BRS Rubea, BRS Violeta, Concord, Concord Clone 30, Isabel, Isabel Precoce, Moscato Bailey, Moscato Embrapa, Niagara Branca, Niagara Rosada, and Seibel 5455 grafted on Paulsen 1103. The study was conducted in the fruit growing sector of the Federal Technological University of Paraná, Câmpus Dois Vizinhos, Paraná State, Brazil, during the cycles of 2015/2016 and 2016/2017. The experimental design was completely randomized, with four replicates and two evaluated plants per plot. Plants were grown in a vertical trellis system and spur pruned with two buds. Evaluations of phenology and thermal requirements were carried out from pruning to harvest. Cultivars Moscato Bailey and Seibel 5455 had high thermal requirements and longer cycles, while cultivars BRS Magna, BRS Violeta, and Isabel Precoce had lower thermal requirements and shorter cycles. The cycle and the thermal requirements of cultivars ranged from 98 to 132 days, and from 1065 to 1548 degree-days, respectively.
