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

The flowers on the bush are functionally feminine, and this should be taken into account. The variety loves warmth, hence the need for careful selection of the place. In the shade, such grapes will grow poorly, the berries will begin to shrink.

It is best to choose black soil or loam for planting. With a high acidity coefficient, lime is added to the soil. The proportion is 3 kilograms per 1 cubic meter.

Landing

The best time for planting seedlings in open ground is April-May. It is important that the air has warmed up to + 12 ... 15 degrees by this time. If there is a possibility of sudden frosts, then the seedlings must be covered until the threat passes.

For planting planting material, it is advised to choose a sunny, windless place. Groundwater should be far from the ground surface. If this condition is not met, then there is a high probability of the appearance of root rot.

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

Pollination is necessary, so the variety is planted close to grape bushes with male or bisexual flowers.

Pruning

Fruiting vines are pruned in the spring. 6-8 eyes are left on them. There should be 30-35 of them per bush.

In the same period, dead and damaged shoots are removed. In the fall, stepchildren and shoots that have not matured are removed.

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

When the seedling is young, it must be watered every week. After the procedure carried out, the soil is loosened and mulched obligatory. So it is possible not only to retain moisture, but also to prevent weeds from germinating.

Adult bushes are watered only 4 times per season:

  • when the buds open;

  • before flowering;

  • when the ovaries are formed;

  • after picking ripe bunches.

Watering is carried out not at the root, but in specially formed furrows. The norm is 60 liters of liquid, always warm.

It is best when drip irrigation is organized in the vineyard. It helps to maintain the required moisture level.

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