Description

The variety has a bisexual flower type. These are vigorous grapes that require pruning. Doesn't have any special requirements for leaving. The only thing that needs to be paid special attention to is the need to shorten the inflorescences after the appearance of the ovaries. If you do not touch them, then one inflorescence should remain for one shoot, no more, otherwise there will be an overload of the bush.

Yield

The yield is high, but in the absence of pruning, the bushes are heavily overloaded with bunches, which only harms them. By the age of 4, the bush is capable of producing up to 16 kilograms of berries. By the age of 5 even more. Under good conditions, many gardeners manage to get up to 40 kilograms.

If planting is carried out in the southern region of the country, then often a second crop is obtained from stepchildren. It is harvested 3 weeks later than from the main vine.

The choice of planting material
Experienced gardeners recommend that beginners take cuttings and seedlings from those who made them from their vines and are professionally engaged in the production of such material.
You can evaluate the quality by cutting off a small amount of bark. When growing a bush from a cuttings and observing the rules of agricultural technology, survival rate is about 90%, the high quality of the plant is practically guaranteed. It is possible to control the development of grapes at all stages.
Subject to the rules of agricultural technology, survival rate is about 100%. The seedlings must be healthy. Pay attention to the absence of blisters, growths, or other signs of disease.

Growing features

Landing

It is better not to plant a bush close to a fence or a building, the Admiral loves the sun. A distance of 3 meters is kept from other crops.

Pits are dug several weeks before the intended planting. Drainage must be laid at the bottom. It can be a simple broken brick.

A third of the pit is filled with earth, which is pre-mixed with humus and nitrogen fertilizer. Ordinary soil is laid on top. After planting, the grapes must be watered, the ground is mulched from above with sawdust.

Landing features

Watering

For high-quality fruiting, the variety requires a sufficient amount of moisture, but its excess also harms the plant. When the growing season begins, each bush is watered at the root. A bucket of water is enough once a week. A month later, the number of waterings is halved.

Irrigation schemes
In order for the berries to be large and juicy, it is necessary to organize full watering and feeding. All standards must be adjusted for weather conditions and the rate of evaporation of the liquid.
With a frequent watering scheme, it is recommended to moisturize once every two weeks (that is, twice a month during flowering and the appearance of berries) so that the earth is saturated 50 cm deep so that the plant does not switch to superficial (dew) roots. This amount can be reduced by mulching the crop with straw.
With a rare irrigation scheme, choosing the age and maturation of the grapes, you can use the standards presented in the table in another article.
