The aim of this work was to evaluate frost-hardiness of winter grapevine buds from locality exposed to a strong current of harmful industrial immissions from chemical plants and from location exposed to the acid gas concentrations (SO2 and NOx) in air lower by 30-40 per cent. In winter period in 1989 - 1990, in the both locations, we cut away annual, well lignified shoots with buds from the grapevines of the Pinot gri and Riesling cultivars on the 2nd and 19th of January; these cuttings were exposed to frost stresses in the controlled conditions of freezing chambers at the temperature of -17, -20 and -23 degrees C according to a previously described process (Damborska,1978). Frost-hardiness of buds was evaluated on the basis of budding of one-bud cuttings after the frost stresses. The results obtained from six frost stresses showed that the average frost-resistance in both varieties was lower in the locality where the immission was higher. Differences in the frost-hardiness of buds showed up mainly in the second half of January after the frost stress of -23 degrees C.
