Pollination

The presence of bisexual flowers determines the variety as self-fertile. There is no need for additional pollination.

Pruning

The primary task of care is timely and competent pruning. Long pruning is used, shortening the shoots by 4-10 eyes. Shoots selected for fruiting must be of good quality and intact. Medium stems are preferred.

Trim manipulation is carried out with caution. With any damage, there is a risk of wounds that will not heal on perennial branches. To calculate the number of shoots on the bush, eyes are taken into account.

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 variety reacts sharply to dry seasons. For high-quality fruiting, the provision of culture with water is required. It is equally important to control watering.

Irrigation schemes

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.

At the beginning of the growing season, nitrogen fertilizers are introduced. This method promotes the active growth of healthy shoots and prepares the crop for fruiting. In spring and summer, potash and phosphorus fertilizers are required, which are necessary for the formation of bushes. If they are lagging behind in development, use foliar dressing in the form of spraying with fertilizers.

Frost resistance and the need for shelter

The frost resistance of the thermophilic variety is low. Grapes need shelter when the temperature at the place of growth drops above the allowable value. In the cold, grapes are recommended full cover in the following options:

  • sandwich - covering material in several layers;
  • using agrofibre on an arc frame.
Shelter for the winter is a very important step for the preservation of many grape varieties after wintering.

Diseases and pests

Compositions with potassium and phosphorus especially help to resist diseases and pests. Variety Ladies fingers, like other Central Asian varieties, does not cope well with fungal infection and various parasites.

Storage

The variety is unsuitable for long-term storage. Harvesting is done only in dry and clear weather. Wet berries are subject to rapid decay. The grapes are placed in boxes and stored in a cool, dark room. It is not recommended to store grapes in bright light.

Best of all, brushes are stored at a temperature of 0 ° C and high humidity - 80%. In warm and dry conditions, evaporation of moisture leads to shrinkage of the berries.

It is advisable to fumigate the room with sulfur with the addition of saltpeter and dry sawdust. In a prepared room, the bunches are able to withstand temperatures up to -4 degrees.
