Breeding history

The Krasava table grape variety was bred by the Ukrainian breeder Viktor Mikhailovich Kalugin. Presumably, this variety appeared as a result of crossing the Talisman and Velika varieties. A new form of the hybrid was planted with seeds in 2013, and in 2017 Viktor Mikhailovich harvested the first crop that met his expectations. In 2018, for the second fruiting of the seedling, the breeder managed to get 18 bunches of excellent quality. It is believed that the name of the variety was traditionally invented by guests who visit Kalugin's vineyards.

Growing features

Pollination

The bisexual flowers of the Krasava variety do not require special pollination, in contrast to the female grape varieties. But if desired, additional pollination can be carried out in order to increase the yield or obtain a new variety. For this, grapes of a different female type are planted next to Krasava.

Pruning

In the fall, as part of sanitary pruning, before covering the Krasava bush for the winter, it is necessary to cut out old and sick lashes. Then, for the correct formation of young shoots, pruning is done in the spring. This procedure should be carried out before bud break at a temperature not lower than +10 degrees in sunny weather. In summer, it is recommended to remove stepchildren and thin out the leaves of this variety.

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

Watering the Krasava seedling can be done in a simple way using a few plastic bottles. They must be filled with water and buried with their necks down. With this method of irrigation, water flows to the roots gradually, which prevents them from rotting. But it is not recommended to water an adult plant in this way.

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

Despite the fairly good frost resistance of -22 degrees, the Krasava variety requires shelter for the winter. This is especially true for the northern regions. The grape lashes are removed from the support after pruning and carefully laid on the ground. Most often, straw or spruce branches act as a shelter.

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

This variety is quite resistant to diseases and pests. With proper care, Krasava grapes rarely get sick. Sometimes it can be affected by powdery mildew and smallpox. For the prevention of these diseases, it is necessary to treat the plant with copper sulfate at the rate of 5 g of vitriol per 250 g of water; for better adhesion of the solution to the leaves, add a little soap. Brown bumps on the leaves signal a tick infestation. The grapes should be immediately treated with chemicals such as Karbofos or Neoron.

Storage

Krasava is well kept, but the grapes are not very transportable. Although strong berries retain their presentation for a long time.
