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

Mulching is a must if grapes are grown on the ground. When the grower adds mulch, it prevents too much water from evaporating from the soil and protects the roots from damage.

The best mulch for grapes is pine bark, compost, shredded leaves, or pebbles. Pebbles look their best. It is worth adding a new layer of mulch every year as it tends to diminish with watering.

Landing

Dig a hole, which should be twice the size of the root ball. After laying the seedling, it is covered with the same soil that was taken out when digging the planting hole.

After planting, a thin layer of compost is spread over the soil to retain moisture and provide nutrients. Do not fertilize a freshly planted vine until it is actively growing. It usually takes about a few months.

The ideal time to plant grapes depends on where the grower lives. If this is an area of ​​mild climate, then the best time for planting is spring or early summer. Best, because the plant has time to grow without frost that stuns growth.

Those who live in the tropics can plant seedlings in winter.

Landing features
In order for the vine to give a signal harvest after 3 years, it is necessary to take into account many factors - from the type of soil on the site to the nearby plants.

Pollination

Flowers of both sexes form on the vine - the type of flower is bisexual.

Pruning

For several months after planting until the end of the first growing season, there is no need to prune the plants. They need to grow freely and develop a strong root system.

But it is worth removing shoots that are more than two years old and those that do not bear more fruit.

The best time to prune grapes is from late winter to early spring, leaving only two buds.

The most serious pruning occurs at the end of winter, when the plant begins to shed its leaves. In the summer, if they do pruning, then only slightly.

Pruning is one of the main grape care procedures. Depending on the purpose of pruning and the type of plant, the appropriate type of formation is selected.

Watering

The vines need to be watered regularly and deeply, but the soil should only be slightly damp. It is very important not to overmoisten the plants, because damp soil is the first cause of mold.

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 ripening period of the grapes, you can use the standards presented in the table in another article.

Top dressing

Like any plant, grapes need fertilization. In the first year, general-purpose mixes are added to the soil to aid growth.

Every year the vine is periodically fed with aged manure or compost. Fertilizers with a low nitrogen content and a high content of potassium and phosphorus are also used. They are especially important in the spring when buds begin to appear. Phosphorus is also needed when fruits begin to appear on the bushes.

Frost resistance and the need for shelter

The level of frost resistance is at around –26 degrees. If it is supposed to plant grapes in a region where it is colder, then it is worth covering it for winter. The easiest option is to use branches of coniferous trees. The most expensive is special agrofibre.

Shelter for the winter is a very important step for the preservation of many grape varieties after wintering.

Diseases and pests

During the growing season, the vine must undergo preventive treatment twice. The first is necessary before the flowers appear on the shoots, the second after flowering.

If we talk about resistance to diseases characteristic of this garden culture, then Alminsky is resistant to phylloxera, gray rot, mildew and powdery mildew.

Storage

The grapes are not stored, for this reason they are sent for processing immediately after harvesting.
