Abstract

U ovom se istraživačkom radu prije svega opisuje uloga vinogradarstva u poljoprivredno-gospodarskoj strukturi Istarske županije nakon čega se dolazi do analize obilježja virusa, njihovih simptoma i načina širenja. S obzirom na to da je cilj rada ispitivanje informiranosti vinogradara o problematici virusa, provedena je online anketa na 30 ispitanika. U anketi se ispitivala trenutna upoznatost ispitanika s virusima, njihove sposobnosti prepoznavanja simptoma, znanje o načinu širenja i kontrole virusa te eventualna osobna iskustva i mišljenja. Anketa se sastojala od 30 pitanja i provedena je online putem Google obrazaca. Iz rezultata ankete, kod prve grupe pitanja, vidljivo je da većina ispitanika smatra kako zna dovoljno o samim virusima i njihovim obilježjima. Većina ispitanika pokazuje relativno dobro znanje o posljedicama virusnih infekcija međutim vidljive su poteškoće kod identifikacije virusa putem prikazanih slika simptoma. Najlošije znanje su ispitanici pokazali kod pitanja temeljenih na prepoznavanju (simptoma, vektora, itd.) dok su s druge strane vrlo dobro upoznati s metodama kontrole virusa. 96,7 % ispitanika ipak zaključuje kako bi proizvođači znanje trebali proširiti s obzirom na pojavnost, ozbiljnost i posljedice samih virusnih infekcija te su mišljenja da je osviještenost vinogradara o virusnim infekcijama općenito vrlo niska. Ispitanici dolaze do zaključka kako nisu dovoljno dobro upoznati s virusima i kako će se nakon ankete bolje informirati o istima.

Abstract (english)

This research primarily describes the role of viticulture in the agricultural structure of Istria County, followed by an analysis of the virus characteristics, its symptoms, and transmission routes. Since one of the objectives of the study is to investigate the awareness of winegrowers regarding virus-related problems, an online survey was conducted with 30 participants. The goal of the survey was to determine participants' current knowledge of viruses, their ability to recognize symptoms, their understanding of virus transmission and control methods, and their personal experiences and opinions. The survey consisted of 30 questions and was conducted online using Google Forms. Survey results indicate that the majority of respondents believe they have adequate knowledge of viruses and their characteristics. Most respondents show relatively good knowledge in questions about the consequences of viral infections, but have difficulty identifying viruses from pictures of symptoms. Respondents showed lack of knowledge in questions related to detection (symptoms, vectors, etc.), but on the other hand, they are well acquainted with virus control methods. Nevertheless, 96.7% of respondents conclude that growers should increase their knowledge about the occurrence, severity and consequences of virus infections, and they consider that the awareness of grape growers in general is very low. Respondents conclude that they are not sufficiently familiar with viruses and that they will become better informed about them after the survey.
