Carmen is a hybrid table grape form, bred by a complex interspecific crossing. The variety is famous for its attractive type of bunches, good taste, and is one of the first to harvest. The hybrid is widespread in the southern CIS countries and in regions with a subtropical climate in Russian latitudes.

Breeding history

The hybrid was obtained by amateur originator Pavlovsky Evgeny Georgievich by crossing FVC-94-3 and Nadezhda AZOS. Carmen belongs to the first generation of subspecies obtained by this author.

Description

The Carmen grape is vigorous, forms shrubs with a well and evenly ripening vine. It grows successfully in a self-rooted and grafted culture, gaining sufficient length and height of shoots (up to 2 m), abundantly forming green foliage. Flowering occurs in early May. Cuttings root easily and are used as the main breeding method. There are no signs of peas in the berries.

Ripening period

In terms of technical ripeness, the hybrid is usually referred to as early. Harvesting begins in the second decade of August. Technical ripeness is reached in 100-110 days.

Bunches

Dense conical clusters weighing 600-800 g are formed on the bushes.

Berries

The large size of the berries is characteristic - the weight of each reaches 6-8 g, their unusual shape, oval, elongated, pointed, attracts attention to the Carmen grapes. The black skin is always thin, underneath is a dense crunchy flesh.

Taste

The fruits of the hybrid have a simple harmonious taste, the sugar content in them reaches 200 g / dm3.

Yield

Abundant formation of ovaries requires the removal of excess ovaries from the bush at the fruiting stage. In the absence of rationing, the ripening periods are stretched, the berries gain sugar worse. The hybrid form is considered high-yielding, yields up to 5-6 kg of fruit per bush.

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

This hybrid form is grown using standard agricultural techniques. Provides control over the formation of vines, regular mulching of the soil surface with preliminary weeding. During the ripeness period, watering is excluded, otherwise the fruits will be watery.

Landing

When choosing a landing site, you must focus on the southern or southwestern part of the site, which has an artificial shelter from the wind in the form of a building, a fence. Plants must be placed directly in the sun, without shading. They maintain a distance of 3 m from the nearest trees, 1 m from buildings. The best soil is sandy loam, loam, swampy, waterlogged soils are categorically unsuitable.

The time for planting is spring. The soil should warm up to +10 degrees and above.Since autumn, organic fertilizers are laid in the ground during digging. In the spring, a pit 70 × 70 × 70 cm is formed at the chosen place, it is refreshed with a layer of organic matter sprinkled with earth. When planting a Carmen hybrid, the root collar is not buried.

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

No special pollination tasks are required. The hybrid has bisexual flowers that provide sufficient intensity of ovary formation.

Pruning

When rationing the load for this variety, it is recommended to withstand pruning of 34-36 eyes per bush. On fruiting vines, no more than 7-8 are left.

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 irrigation 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.

Frost resistance and the need for shelter

The vine can withstand a drop in air temperature to -23 degrees. In regions with cold winters with little snow, the formation of a shelter is mandatory.

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

Diseases and pests

The hybrid form demonstrates resistance to fungal diseases at the level of 3.5 points, to gray rot by 3 points (tolerance), and resistance to mildew and mildew is lower (2 points). In general, with proper agricultural technology and good care, most problems can be avoided. It is recommended to spray the bushes on the leaf with a Bordeaux mixture to prevent anthracnose; you will also have to fight phylloxera with the help of insecticides.

Storage

The bunches must be removed from the bush upon reaching technical ripeness. When left on the vine, they begin to wither.

Review overview

According to amateur winegrowers, Carmen can be considered a promising non-commercial hybrid for growing on a private farm. They note the abundant fruiting of the bushes, which requires mandatory rationing, the beautiful shape and piquant taste of the berries, while the sugar set is rather slow. Pavlovsky's hybrids already have a formed group of admirers. Most of them have several such forms of grapes on their site at once. This particular hybrid successfully takes root almost everywhere - from Kursk to Krasnodar, without causing trouble.

The obvious disadvantages of Carmen grapes include cracking of berries, which occurs on some types of soil - plants are very sensitive to the choice of location. In addition, the brushes are easily affected by rot; it is also impossible to overexpose the crop on the bushes. Low resistance to mildew makes the hybrid more vulnerable to this disease than other varieties.
