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

Consider several factors when maintaining a variety.

  • Before and after the flowering period, the plant needs abundant watering. Each bush needs 7-9 liters of water at a time.
  • In the first year of fruiting, it is recommended to leave only one bunch for the shoot. In an unfavorable year, even more intensive thinning is allowed. This technique will make it possible to get a healthy strong plant for the next year;
  • In early spring, it is required to tie up the vines until the leaves and shoots have formed, so as not to damage the bud's eyes.
  • In the first year of keeping the crop, you need to regularly loosen the soil so that the root system receives enough oxygen.
  • The standard needs fertilization 3-4 times per season, young bushes can be fed up to 6 times. Compost and potassium-phosphorus compounds can be used as additional food.

Landing

Plant your grapes following specific steps.

  • Dig holes measuring 70x70cm. The distance between specimens is 2 m.
  • Organize drainage at the bottom (expanded clay, crushed stone).
  • The next layer is followed by fertilizers, for example, mixtures containing potassium and phosphorus, as well as organic fertilizers (mullein, chicken droppings, compost).
  • Wait for the earth to settle, then mix the garden soil with organic matter and apply with the next layer.
  • The day before planting, hold the seedling in water, process it in a growth stimulator and plant it in a mound made in the center of the hole. Spread out the roots.
  • Cover the soil so that the root collar is not hidden.
  • Water the planting site with 10 liters of water and tie the cutting to a peg.
  • Cover the seedling with a cut bottle, compact and mulch the root zone.
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

The type of flower of the Etalon variety is bisexual, which means that it has excellent self-pollination properties, so the bush will not need additional pollinating varieties.

Pruning

If the cuttings are tall, then they are cut off after 7 eyes. If the sprouts are of medium and small stature, then they are cut off after 5 eyes. It is important to systematically carry out the formation of the plant, this will ensure the production of large berries.

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.
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.

Frost resistance and the need for shelter

The standard tolerates temperatures down to -23 °. If the plant is planted in the southern region, then winter protection is not needed. In the case of growing in the middle lane and northern regions, you need to take care of the warming of the culture. A special tub or dense polyethylene folded in several layers can be used as a shelter.

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

Diseases and pests

Wasps are not terrible for the Etalon variety. This variety is not particularly susceptible to such ailments as rot, oidium, mildew, but when kept in the northern regions, it can be affected by them. As a preventive measure, thin out the bunches, and also treat with special means.

Storage

Due to the dense pulp, the fruits can be stored for a long time and retain their presentation. For storage, the bunches are folded into wooden boxes and removed to the cellar. The berries of the presented variety tolerate transportation well.
