A rare culture is so immune to disease and pest attacks, as well as the vagaries of the weather. In addition, Yadrenaya bears very large and delicious fruits. And growing it is a pleasure.

Breeding history

The culture was the result of the work of the Federal Altai Scientific Center of Agrobiotechnology (FGBNU) and, in particular, the employee of the institution L.N.

In the process of experimental testing, the newly-made culture demonstrated a decent level of frost and drought resistance, tolerated the effects of pathogenic microflora and pest attacks well. And its fruits amazed many with their significant dimensions and memorable taste. The variety has been in the State Register since 2000. It is intended for cultivation in the conditions of the West Siberian and Volga-Vyatka regions.

Description of the variety

The bushes of this black currant are compact, medium-sized, slightly leafy, slightly spreading. Reaches a height of 150 cm. The crowns are not dense. Erect shoots of moderate thickness, medium size, greenish with a slight blush and little pubescence.

The foliage is dark green, five-lobed, wrinkled and bubbly. Veins of pinkish shades, slightly depressed into leaf plates. The edges of the leaves are sharp, with slightly curved teeth.

The flowers are small in size, white-pinkish, with a memorable sweetish aroma.

Of the advantages of culture, we note:

  • high level of productivity and large-fruited;
  • excellent winter hardiness and frost resistance (with satisfactory snow cover, tolerant to temperatures up to 40 ° C);
  • able to endure long winter thaws without noticeable difficulties;
  • has a high degree of heat resistance and drought resistance;
  • tolerant to powdery mildew and hazel grouse virus;
  • tolerant of kidney mites.

Minuses:

  • contains an excessive amount of acid in berries;
  • non-uniformity of fruits;
  • low level of transportability;
  • weakly resistant to anthracnose;
  • rapid aging of plants;
  • a small number of shoots after pruning.

The culture is quite simple in agricultural technology, it is often used for cultivation by amateur gardeners, as well as for commercial purposes. The fruits are mainly used for fresh consumption and for processing. We recommend them to connoisseurs of large fruits with an impressive currant aroma.

Characteristics of berries

The berries are almost black, large in size (3.2-7.8 g), oval in shape, with shine. The skin is firm and fleshy. Brushes are elongated up to 8 cm. The number of fruits in a cluster is in the range of 6-12 pieces. The fruit contains many large, but soft seeds. Consistency is compacted, saturated. The separation of the fruits is dry. The level of transportability (in the phase of technical maturity) is good.

By chemical composition, the fruits include: sugars - 8.9%, acids - 3.7%, vitamin C - 96 mg /%.

Taste qualities

By taste, the berries are sweet-sour, with a refreshing aroma. Tasting score in points - 4.3.

Ripening and fruiting

The culture is early-growing, medium-late ripening. Fruiting time July-August.

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

The plant is high-yielding - on average, up to 87.6 kg / ha, 2.5 kg per bush.

Self-fertility and the need for pollinators

The culture is considered self-pollinated, but additional plantings of other types of currants are desirable to increase the yield level.

Landing

Landing sites for Yadrenaya should be sunny. In southern latitudes, it is better to plant bushes in a semi-shaded space. The bushes are planted in the fall, with a distance between them of at least 1.5-2 m, since a denser planting reduces the area of ​​their nutrition, which leads to shrinking of the berries.

Before planting, organic compounds are added to the soil both in the planting recesses and on the surface of the soil about 2 m in diameter, followed by digging. An hour before planting the seedlings, the roots are immersed in water so that they replenish their moisture reserves. With a closed root system, the bushes are immediately planted, followed by abundant irrigation.

When planting in spring, the bushes are shortened to 3 buds. Seedlings should be planted obliquely to create conditions for better shoot development, since the culture poorly develops roots.

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

It is recommended to irrigate every 7 days - 30-40 liters per bush. Although the culture is quite drought-resistant, in the absence of irrigation, especially on dry days, the fruits begin to visibly shrink, and the ripe ones crumble. In order to avoid drying out of the soil under the bushes, mulching is carried out. Also, mulch saves the roots from excessive heating, which has a positive effect on the productivity of plants.

Irrigation should be carried out along the perimeters of the crowns, but not in the center of the bushes, since there are no sucking roots there. During the period of fruit ripening, watering is reduced, since otherwise the berries begin to crack. Fruits ripen Vigorously synchronously, and they are removed during ripening. You should not overexpose them, otherwise the level of sugar content drops.

The best time for autumn pruning is the second decade of October. It should not be carried out later, since the tips of the branches may freeze slightly, and in the spring they will have to be cut out anyway.

In the 1st year of fruiting, only 2 shoots should be left. In the future, intensive pruning is carried out annually, since the culture is soon aging, and it gives few shoots. For this reason, starting from the 3rd year of fruiting, the row of branches should be shortened by about 30%. If such pruning is unsatisfactory, then 1-3 weak branches at the base are eliminated, then basal processes will begin to appear.

The culture throughout the entire fruiting period needs cardinal pruning, otherwise its productive period is reduced to 5-7 years. A fully formed bush should have 10-12 shoots.

The variety is sensitive to feeding. Traditionally, 2-3 additional dressings are carried out for him per season. During the periods of ovary formation, the bushes are sprayed with solutions of trace elements, including ash or other micronutrient fertilizers.Other supplements are not necessary during this time. We strongly discourage the use of nitrogen during fruiting.

During the rainy season, liquid root dressing is performed using similar solutions.

After harvesting the fruits, the culture must be fed with phosphorus additives, embedded in the ground, or irrigated with a phosphorus extract. At the same time, potash compounds are added (1 tablespoon per 10 liters of water). In the fall, additives from rotted manure or humus are added to the soil, embedding it into the soil to a depth of 5-7 cm.

The near-stem spaces are not digged, since the roots of the culture are located superficially - they can be damaged.

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 variety has a strong immune potential against diseases and pest attacks, for this reason, preventive measures are taken in early spring, before flowering and in autumn. Affected and diseased branches are eliminated.

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.

Resistance to adverse climatic conditions

The culture was "born" in Siberia, and therefore is not afraid of harsh winters. But to reduce the risk in October, areas near the bushes with a diameter of 1 m are covered with humus, fallen leaves at least 5 cm thick. In winter, the bushes are covered with snow.

If there is a need to increase the size of the plantings 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.
