Abstract: At present, the world's research is focused on selecting new varieties of fruit-bearing shrubs, including gooseberries, that are resistant to changing climate conditions each year, taking into account their productivity, production quality and market requirements. The paper presents the results of the study conducted during the years 2010-2020 in the Central area of the Republic of Moldova regarding the development periods of gooseberry plants. The influence on the development of the phenological phases, the obtaining of the fruit production according to the variety and the annual climatic conditions were analyzed. The researches were carried out in the Experimental Field of the laboratory “Fruit Shrubs”, Public Institution Scientific and Practical Institute of Horticulture and Food Technoloigies in the gooseberry plantation established in 2007 with a planting distance of 1.5 x 1.0 m under irrigation conditions. The study included the varieties: 'Smena', 'Sadko', 'Colobok', 'Captivator', 'Severni capitain'. The analysis of the results obtained from the researches carried out regarding the influence of the changing climatic conditions on the development of the phenological phases of the gooseberry plants allowed to establish that the earliest budding of the gooseberry plants took place on 27.02. (2020) and the latest on 30.03 (2018), the difference between them was 32 days. The earliest flowering of gooseberry was recorded on 03.04. (2016) and the latest - 26.04. (2013), the difference was 23 days. The ripening of the gooseberry fruits was registered the earliest on 17.06. (2015), and the latest on 12.07 (2011). The duration between the budding and flowering periods varied between 21 days (2014) and 48 days (2019). The duration between the flowering and ripening period of gooseberry berries varied between 59 days (2014) and 92 days (2014). Under the influence of the properties characteristic of the variety, the average fruit harvest obtained varied between 6.7 t/ha ('Smena' variety) - 18.6 t/ha ('Captivator' variety). Under the influence of the climatic conditions of the year, the average fruit harvest obtained varied between 7.4 t/ha (2019) and 22.3 t/ha (2010). The difference between the minimum gooseberry harvests obtained depending on the variety and the year conditions was 9.5% and the maximum yields - 16.6%.
