Table grapes Variegated refers to hybrids of private selection. It has become widespread in the south of Russia, it is distinguished by its very early ripening, excellent taste of berries. Differs in the ability to independently develop the root system, does not need vaccinations. Sometimes found under the name Motley Guseva.

Breeding history

A breeder from Dubrovka, Sergei Eduardovich Gusev, was engaged in the development of a new hybrid. To obtain a tall, early maturing subspecies, the parent varieties Talisman and Radiant Kishmish were taken. The result of amateur crossing was a hybrid with the best properties of the original plants.

Description

Ripening period

The variety is very early. Harvesting begins in early August. It is noted that before the full ripeness and sweetness are set, the berries need another 1-2 weeks from the terms declared by the originator. The predicted ripening period reaches 100 days.

Bunches

This grape is characterized by a conical shape and a high density of the bunch. The mass of the brush reaches 350-450 g. Sometimes the bunch is formed with a wing.

Berries

The variegated grapes are characterized by pink, in some places lilac shade of berries, there is a light waxy bloom. Its skin is firm, the flesh is juicy and crispy. The berries have a regular oval shape, large, up to 26 × 24 mm in size and weighing up to 8-10 g.

Taste

According to the tasting assessment, the taste properties of this grape reach 8.8 points. Muscat shade is very pronounced. Variegated is characterized by a high sugar content of up to 250 g / dm3 with an acidity of 5-6 g / dm3. When fully ripe, the nutmeg notes become sharper.

Yield

According to its indicators, the hybrid belongs to high-yielding varieties. Up to 130-150 quintals of berries can be harvested from 1 hectare. Fruiting shoots occupy up to 60-70% of the 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

The Variegated grape hybrid needs a lot of daylight. It is planted in open spaces, on the south side, in a place protected from the wind. With strong shading, fruiting slows down or does not occur at all. A tall bush needs props when planting.

Landing

The choice of a landing site is simplified as much as possible. The hybrid grows well on black soil, on rocky and sandy soils. Annual shoots are usually planted from April to May, green stepchildren are rooted in the summer months. The preparation of a pit with a size of 0.8 × 0.8 m is carried out 30 days before planting. The bottom is lined with a nutrient mixture based on compost and humus, then a layer of ash, fertilizer and soil is laid - filling occurs on 2/3 of the hole.

After a month, the seedlings are transferred to the prepared pits.The nutrient-rich soil promotes rapid root growth.

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

Bisexual flowers are formed on the bush. The variety is self-pollinated. No additional effort is required to form the ovaries.

Pruning

The vine is shortened to 7-8 eyes. Pruning is carried out in the spring, before the sap flow begins. Sanitary measures involve the removal of dried and frozen shoots. The thicker the vine, the shorter it is cut. In the summer, additional shortening of excess shoots is carried out, pinching is also used, performed 7 days before flowering.

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 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.

Frost resistance and the need for shelter

Variegated grapes can withstand a drop in atmospheric temperatures down to -22 degrees without shelter. In colder climates, plants need extra protection. Growing in a covering culture involves the organization of a reliable shelter in the winter, both in the form of near-stem mulch at the roots, and in the form of a full-fledged wrapping of cut vines with spruce branches and snow.

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

Diseases and pests

Since the hybrid ripens very early, damage to plants by diseases and pests is extremely rare. Preventive fungicidal treatment in the spring is recommended. Pest control using chemical preparations is performed against typical parasites - bunch mites, spider mites and grape mites.

Storage

A distinctive feature of all early table grape varieties is their unsuitability for long-term storage. The Variegated Hybrid is no exception. It is removed from the bush only after full ripening. Then they are hung or laid in 1 layer in wooden boxes, at a temperature from 0 to +5 degrees and a humidity of at least 85%. It is important not to damage the protective wax coating on the berries, otherwise they will deteriorate faster than usual.
