Vavilov's memory is one of the most successful varieties bred on the territory of the post-Soviet space. It receives only positive feedback from gardeners: the culture is undemanding to care, frost-resistant, drought-resistant, perfectly adapts to various climate characteristics.

Breeding history

The variety is dedicated to the domestic plant grower and biologist N.I. Vavilov, the founder of agricultural science in the USSR. Culture appeared a very long time ago on the basis of the Belarusian Research Institute of Potato and Horticulture. The work on the creation of a new currant was carried out by Voluznev, Zazulina and Rainchikova. The materials of Belorusskaya Sweet and Paulinka (Pavlinka) were taken as the parental pair. Twenty-year variety trials (1978-1996) were crowned with success, so the new variety Pamyat Vavilova was included in the State Register for the Russian Federation. And five years earlier, in 1991, he was enrolled in the register of varieties of tree and shrub species of the Republic of Belarus.

Description of the variety

It is a vigorous plant with medium to low branching and is excellent for mechanized harvesting. Therefore, the variety is often used for commercial cultivation. A cluster with berries is found both medium and short, includes 8-9 berries. The shoots are curved, the thickness is medium. Their color is reddish-brown, matte.

The leaf plates are large and green in color. There is a heart-shaped notch at the base of the leaves.

Fruit transportability is very high.

Characteristics of berries

The berries of the described variety are large, on average they are 1.2-1.4 grams. Moreover, they are almost black and shiny. The shape is round, the skin has an average density. The separation is dry.

Taste qualities

Tasting assessment of taste indicators - 4.8 points on a 5-point scale. Ordinary consumers note a sweet, pleasant taste, unobtrusive aroma. The ratio of acid and sugar is optimal. The purpose of the product is universal.

Ripening and fruiting

The growing season lasts 200 days. The variety belongs to crops of medium ripening. At the same time, the berries ripen together.

The fruiting of currants depends on the variety, on the region in which it grows, what is the care for it, whether all agrotechnical measures are followed. In black currant, flower buds form on branches that are one year old. So the first small crop can be harvested the next year after planting. Full fruiting begins from the third year of the shrub's life.

Yield

Yield indicators are impressive: from 1 bush they get 5-6 kilograms, and from one hectare - as much as 12 tons.

Growing regions

Variety Pamyat Vavilova is intended for the North Caucasus, North-West and Volga-Vyatka regions.

Landing

As for planting a culture, it is worth choosing open and well-lit places. The berries ripen well in the sun, and also get sick less. The site must be protected from drafts and wind.

The currant of the described variety grows well on moist soils, but it is important that the groundwater level is farther from the earth's surface (at least 0.8 m). Otherwise, the shallow root system will suffer from excess moisture. To plant a shrub, dig a hole 40 centimeters deep and in diameter. The bottom of the pit is lined with gravel drainage. Then it is fertilized to help the shrub adapt. And it also saves the gardener from the need to fertilize for another year.

Not a single garden plot can do without currants. This fragrant and healthy berry is very popular. When planting currants, you need to take into account many factors and nuances. It is necessary to choose the right planting material, determine the location, and competently prepare the soil.

Growing and care

Watering is one of the main components of currant care. In this case, the soil should be moistened to a depth of 30-40 centimeters: this is the placement of the root system of the berry bush. Watering is carried out either early in the morning or in the evening. Sawdust, peat, compost or sand mulch retains moisture well.

Loosening is also important, providing air to the roots, but it must be done very carefully and manually. The main feeding for the culture is carried out in the spring. In the spring months, fertilization helps the shrub wake up and grow. At this time, nitrogen-containing compounds are used, for example, a urea solution. In the fall, organic matter is used: for example, the soil near each currant bush must be dug up with 3-4 kg of compost or manure.

The most important step in caring for currants is the correct moisture of the crop throughout the growing season. Due to errors in watering, you can lose most of the crop and get small and tasteless berries.
Pruning is an indispensable element of caring for any fruit shrubs, including currants. If you carry out this agrotechnical procedure at the optimal time and do it correctly and regularly, the result will not slow down to affect the quality and quantity of berries grown.
Competent preparation of currants for winter is the key to a good harvest for next year. Autumn care for currants and preparation for cold weather includes the following stages: pruning, watering, feeding, treatment from diseases and pests, shelter.
In the process of growing currants, timely feeding is an important part of care. Organic and mineral elements are necessary not only for the harmonious growth of the bush, but also for the formation of the crop. During the entire growing season, the plant needs different substances, which is important to consider when choosing a fertilizer.

Disease and pest resistance

The culture has a high resistance to spheroteca and anthracnose. And also there is a relative resistance to the kidney mite. The variety can be affected by fungal diseases and leaf spot.

Currant is one of the most favorite crops of gardeners, it can be found on almost any personal plot. In order for the currant berries to be tasty and large, and the bush itself to be healthy and strong, you should properly care for, treat and protect the plant from harmful insects. It is important to recognize the signs of the disease in a timely manner and begin treatment in the early stages of plant damage.

If there is a need to increase the size of the planting of currants or to rejuvenate the shrub, then you can propagate the currants yourself. You can propagate currants in different ways: green cuttings, lignified cuttings and layering. Each of the procedures is a vegetative propagation of currants and allows you to get full-fledged seedlings without much effort.
