Economic regulation plays an active role in the overall system of regulation of viticulture and winemaking. Such a situation manifests itself, above all, in the characteristics of the functional structure of the means of economic regulation. As in all other systems, the functions of economic instruments in the regulation of viticulture and winemaking are deterministic for appropriate purposes. Considering that the development goals of the field are determined in accordance with the specific period and conditions in each country, there is a need to formulate the above-mentioned functions for scientific analysis in general. From this point of view, based on the analysis of the place and role of economic regulation, it is possible to distinguish its auxiliary, stimulating and regulatory functions.

It was talking about the influence of irrigation norms, nutrition conditions on the productivity of Virginia tobacco varieties and the choice of commodity types in Sheki-Zagatala region.
