Grape berries are tasty and rich in various vitamins fruits, which many are happy to grow on their plots. A huge variety of species, which is constantly replenished with new breeding masterpieces, allows each gardener to choose the most suitable variety according to personal preferences and climatic features of the planting region. This article will focus on Liang grapes.

Breeding history

The unpretentious and tasty Liana grape variety was bred in the 70s of the twentieth century in the Scientific and Production Association "Vierul" by a group of Moldovan breeders. The initial varieties for its production were Pierril and Chaush white. From Moldova, Lana's seedlings began to spread to other countries in the 1980s. The cultivation of the new variety has shown itself well in the conditions of the vineyards of the Lower Don region.

Description

A complex hybrid created on the basis of European and American varieties, it successfully combines excellent taste and unpretentiousness in providing care for it. The Liang grape is one of the finest white table grapes. But attempts to create a factory wine in the 1980s from the juice of these grapes were also successful due to the soft and aromatic qualities of the drink. The variety is distinguished by its hardiness, frost resistance and easily tolerates dry years. The bushes grow rapidly and create a strong vine with rounded, light green leaves.

Ripening period

Lyana belongs to the varieties with an average ripening period. The time from the beginning of blooming of the first leaves on the shoots to the collection of ripe berries is about 130 days. In central Russia, it will fully mature by mid-September.

Bunches

In Liang grapes, the size of the bunches is 12x16 cm. The conical shape with branched stalks is filled with berries with an average degree of friability. One bunch can weigh up to 295 grams

Berries

Table berries have a thin skin and fleshy flesh. As befits a hybrid, the presence of seeds inside the berry is minimal, sometimes up to one. Lyana produces a crop of rather large, oval berries, each of which grows up to 2.5 cm long and weighing up to 4 grams. The color of the fruits is light green, in some places with a brownish bloom.

Taste

From its genetic progenitor Chaush, the white Liang variety inherited a pleasant aromatic taste with nutmeg notes. This grape attracts with its juiciness, balance of sweetness and sourness. Tasters rate Lana's harmonious taste at 8.1 points on a 10-point scale.

Yield

On each shoot of a developed Liang grape bush, full ripening from 1 to 2 bunches is possible. From one adult bush, subject to agrotechnical conditions, up to 6 kg of the crop can be harvested. With the industrial cultivation of grapes, it is possible to collect up to 190 centners per hectare.

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

White grapes prefer light soils consisting of loamy or sandy loamy mixtures. In too long periods of drought, bushes can shed individual inflorescences, which, of course, affects yields. The variety does not need chemical protection from many pests and diseases, and due to its ease of care, it is suitable even for the first experiments of novice winegrowers. The versatile characteristics of Lyana make it possible to grow this grape in various regions of Russia, even with low average temperatures.

Landing

For planting seedlings of Liang grapes, slopes well-lit by the sun are chosen. It is necessary to check the depth of the groundwater table, since almost the only health problems of these bushes can cause their close location and stagnation of moisture in the area of ​​the root system. The grafted seedlings are planted in prepared pits, where a small layer of humus-enriched soil has been previously laid.

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

Liang grapes, like many hybrid varieties, have a hermaphroditic or bisexual type of flowers and are self-pollinated species. With prolonged drought during the flowering period, some of the ovaries may crumble.

Pruning

Experts recommend leaving 3 to 6 buds on young shoots in spring, so as not to overload the plant and collect full-fledged berries. During a routine inspection of the bushes, diseased and dry trunks are removed, processing the cut sites with garden pitch.

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

In regions with heavy snowfalls, Liang bushes do not require shelter for the winter. They are resistant to frost and tolerate temperatures as low as –25 degrees.

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

Diseases and pests

The hybrid was created as resistant to most typical diseases. It does not need prophylactic spraying with chemical means of protection against diseases and pests, traditional for other varieties. The main problem with this variety is the development of bacterial cancerous growths on the branches, which can appear from excess moisture. They get rid of them by removing the affected areas, followed by treatment with a disinfection composition.

Storage

The versatile variety can be consumed as fresh berries, juices, wine and preserves. The bunches are distinguished by good keeping quality in cool storages, they are well transported in boxes and retain their presentation for a long time.

The grape, which has received a high tasting rating and has established itself among gardeners as a problem-free variety, allows you to have stable yields every year, reacting little to weather conditions.
