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

In order for a plant to bring a good harvest, it must be watered and fertilized in a timely manner. It is best to use mulch around the vine. It not only helps to prevent the growth of weeds, but also retains moisture. This is very important in summer when moisture evaporates faster and it rains less frequently.

Landing

The best time to plant a vine is in spring or early summer. At this time, the plant takes root in the ground, takes root without exposure to frost. If planting is carried out in a frost-free hot tropical climate, then the best time to plant seedlings is winter.

Choose a sunny, warm and dry place. Even if the plant is in the shade in the afternoon, it will still feel good. Grapes require at least 6 hours of sunlight. Avoid planting vines in a humid, shady, and windy area with poor or no air circulation. Such conditions contribute to the development of fungal diseases.

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

This variety requires pollination, since flowers of an exclusively female type are formed on the bushes. In rainy and windy weather, pollination can be of poor quality, since it is mainly bees who do it.

Pruning

Experts say that you can use a short cut, but it is better to leave 6-8 eyes. On a bush, their number should be from 40 to 50 pieces.

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

Water the young vine regularly and deeply to keep the soil slightly moist, but avoid waterlogging. Damp and moist soil can harm the plant, therefore it is advisable to organize high-quality drainage in the planting pit.

Mature shrubs do not need a lot of water, as they extract it from the soil on their own. But when the drought lasts for a long time, you cannot do without additional watering. It is best to use a drip irrigation system.

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.

Top dressing

When planting in fertile soil, fertilizers can be omitted. If sandstone is used, then regular feeding is indispensable.

It is best to use organic fertilizers:

  • horse and cow manure;
  • wood ash;
  • bone meal.

There is a large assortment of ready-made mineral compositions on sale, which should also be used in the spring and during the period of fruit formation.

Frost resistance and the need for shelter

In the south, this variety is not required to shelter, since frost resistance is -25 degrees. If in the region where it is planned to plant the described variety, the air temperature drops below this mark, then you can use a special material or branches from a coniferous tree.

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