Phenology refers to the main categories of growth and development stages during the lifetime of a plant. In this richly illustrated publication the annual growth cy cle of a grapevine is visually displayed and explained. This publication should be of huge benefit to learners, produc ers and viticulturists in general. Prof Pieter Goussard’s contribution as sole author of this publication is greatly appreciated. With his background in research and teaching, as well as his practical knowledge of viticulture, Prof Goussard is the ideal author of such a publication. He obtained all his academic qualifications, including his PhD (Agric) degree, in 1984, from Stellenbosch University. He was appointed as a lecturer at the same institution in 1971 and later became a professor. During this period, he was also chairperson of the Department of Viticulture and Oenology for 14 years. He is a recognised researcher, who has published 70 articles in scientific and popular publications, has presented 25 papers and posters at na tional and international conferences and has received five awards, including the South African Society for Enology and Viticulture (SASEV) prize for research and innovation. He has served as a board member of the South African Society for Enology and Viticulture for 20 years and was editor of the South African Journal of Enology and Viticul ture for 15 years. All of this highlights the exceptional ser vice he has provided to the South African wine industry.

Fenologie verwys na die hoofstadia van groei en ontwik keling gedurende ’n plant se leeftyd. In hierdie ryk geïllustreerde publikasie word die jaarlikse groeisiklus van ’n wingerdstok visueel voorgestel en verduidelik. Hierdie publikasie kan van groot hulp vir leerders, produsente en wingerdboukundiges in die algemeen, wees. Prof. Pieter Goussard se bydrae as hoof outeur van hierdie publikasie, word hoog op prys gestel. Met sy agtergrond in navorsing en onderrig en sy praktiese kennis van wingerdbou, is Prof. Goussard die ideale outeur van só ’n publikasie. Hy het al sy akademiese kwalifikasies, insluitend sy PhD (Agric)-graad in 1984, aan die Universiteit Stellenbosch verwerf en is aangewys as dosent by dieselfde instansie in 1971, waar hy ook later professor geword het. Gedurende hierdie periode was hy ook vir 14 jaar die voorsitter van die Departement Wingerd- en Wynkunde. Hy het homself gevestig as ’n erkende navorser, wat 70 artikels in wetenskaplike- en populêre publikasies gepubliseer het. Hy het ook 25 referate en plakkate by nasionale- en internasionale konferensies gelewer; en het vyf toekennings ontvang, insluitend die Suid-Afrikaanse Wingerd- en Wynkundevereniging (SAWWV) se prys vir navorsing en innovasie. Hy het 20 jaar as raadslid van die Suid-Afrikaanse Wingerd- en Wynkundevereniging gedien en was ook vir 15 jaar redakteur van die South African Journal of Enology and Viticulture . Uit bogenoemde blyk dit dat hy hoogstaande diens aan die Suid-Afrikaanse wynbedryf verleen het.

Ifinoloji zizifundo ngamanqanaba okuhluma nokukhula kwesityalo kubomi besityalo. Kolushicilelo lutyebileyo lweenkcazelo kubonakaliswa kucaciswe ngokukhula konyaka kwemidiliya. Olushicilelo lungaluncedo olikhulu kubafundi, abavelisi nakubafundi bezifundo zeemidiliya nolwenziwo lwewayini jikelele. Inxax heba eyeyathathwa ngunjingalwazi Pieter Goussard njen goyena mbhali ubalaseleyo wolushicilelo ixabisekile kakhu lu. Ngemvelaphi yakhe esekwe kwicandelo lophandolwazi, ukufundisa nolwazi kwizifundo zokwenziwa kwewayini, uNjingalwazi Pieter Goussard ngoyena mbhali usekiweyo wolushicilelo. Waye wafumana izifundo zakhe kunye nezobunjingalwazi (ph.D) ngomnyaka ka 1984 kwidyuni vesithi yaseStellenbosch, waze waqeshwa njengomfundisi kwakuledyunivesithi ngonyaka ka 1971, de ekuhambeni kwexesha wabayinjingalwazi. Ngelixesha wabangumgcini sihlalo wesebe lezifundo zolimo lwediliya nokwenziwa kwewayini imininyaka elishumi elinane (14). Waye waziseka njengomphandilwazi ogqibeleleyo, washicilela imibhalo engamashumi asixhenxe (25) yesayensi kunye neqhelekiyo kwimagazini, wathabatha inxaxheba njengesithethi sama phepha angamashumi amabini nantlanu (25) nemifanekiso kwiikhonfresi zalapha elizweni nangaphandle. Uthe wafu mana iimbasa ezintlanu (5) enyeyazo iyeye South African Society of Enology and Viticulture (SASEV) kuphandolwazi nokuqala izinto ezintsha. Uye wasebenza ngengelungu kwibhodi yeSASEV iminyaka elishumi nambini (20) waze wangumshicileli wemibhalo yeSouth African Jounal of Enology and Viticulture (ushi cilelo lwemibhalo yeSASEV) iminyaka elishumi elinesihlanu. Oku konke kubonakalisa ukuba uye wazibonakalisa waqa qamba ekusebenzeleni icandelo lasemZantsi Afrika lok wenza iwayini.
