“…Due to the increasing warming rate, air temperatures in recent years have been significantly higher than mid-year values, which has led to a disruption in the differentiation of the flowering buds of fruit crops, and hence a decrease in yields [1,[6][7][8]. Thus, in recent years, the frequency and intensity of this occurrence has increased, and intensive development of diseases and pests has reduced crop yield by up to 50-100% [1,4,[9][10][11]. Despite available publications [12,13], the influence of climate change on the processes of ontogeny of fruit crops in the territory of the South of Russia in the 21st century has been poorly studied.…”
