The variety is high-yielding, about 120-140 kg / ha can be harvested from one bush. The fruiting factor is 1.5, there are about two bunches on one shoot.

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

Technological varieties are extremely easy to grow, since they are not as capricious as table varieties. Despite this, the culture requires basic care. When growing a wine variety, it is necessary to ensure that the culture accumulates well the substances necessary to obtain a decent material for making wines.

Landing

Saplings should be planted in a well-lit area where they will be warm. The type of soil does not matter, but it will be better if the soil is loose and fertile enough. You can use soil that contains humus. If there is too much sand in the ground, it will not properly retain moisture. If the soil is too clayey, it will not allow water to pass through, which will contribute to rotting of the root system.

To eliminate the possibility of problems, it is worth thoroughly mixing the soil under the bush until the required consistency is achieved. It is also worth remembering about such a factor as the acid-base balance of the soil. If the soil is very acidic, lime must be added to it. If the earth is alkaline, potassium salts, sulfate or ammonium chloride are used.

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

Thanks to the bisexual flowers, the plant is able to self-pollinate and does not require other pollinators to be found nearby.

Pruning

Timely pruning is essential for both table and technical varieties. The best option would be to trim 3-4 eyes with 45-50 eyes per bush.

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.

Top dressing

As the crop grows, it should be fertilized using mineral and other fertilizers, which must be selected, taking into account the characteristics of the area and climatic conditions.

Frost resistance and the need for shelter

The variety is able to withstand low temperatures down to -25 degrees. Most often, the grapes are not sheltered for the winter, but the climate of the region in which the crop is grown should be taken into account. If the winter is mild, nothing threatens the Gift of the Magarach.

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

Diseases and pests

The plant is tolerant to mildew and root and leaf phylloxera (resistance 3 points). Despite this, it is recommended to protect the variety from various diseases and insects in order to keep the berries in decent quality. For this, special chemicals are used. Here are several prevention options for different problems.

  • To protect the culture from oidium, the following solution should be used: 90 g of colloidal sulfur must be dissolved in 20 liters of water.

  • So that the grapes are not attacked by the leafworm, the bushes and vines are cleaned of old bark in the spring, after which the plant is treated with a solution (10 g of copper sulfate, 50 g of colloidal sulfur per 10 liters of water).

  • In order not to be afraid of grape itch, it is recommended to treat the bush in the spring with a 2% solution of "Nitrafen".

  • To prevent the birds from feasting on the fruits, ratchets, nets and scarecrows are used.

  • Traps from bottles are saved from wasps, into which a mixture of sweet syrup and insecticide is placed.

Most often, the fruits are not stored, but if necessary, they can be stored for a while.
