Bunches

The length of the bunch is 25-35 cm, the width is about 15 cm. The weight of one bunch varies between 400-800 g. The berries sit tightly on it, do not crumble upon reaching maturity, which favorably affects the transportability of this grape.

The size of the fruits is rather large - they reach 35 mm in length and up to 25 mm in diameter. Their weight ranges from 10-14 g.

Yield

With proper care and watering, one mature vine of the Charada UA grape variety can be harvested up to 18 kg per season. This indicator decreases if you do not carry out annual sanitary pruning and thereby ration the amount of the crop.

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

Like any grape, Sharada UA prefers fertile soils with a high content of nutrients, therefore, if the land on your site is not nutritious, then you need to regularly apply mineral and organic fertilizers to it.

It is worth planting grapes in sunny areas without shading. Immediately, it is necessary to provide a support for the vine - this can be a wall of a house, a fence or a strong support. It is important that there is something for the antennae to catch on to the support, otherwise it will be difficult for the vine to reach up.

Landing

When planting a seedling Sharady UA, it is necessary to add humus to the bottom of the hole along with a complex of any mineral fertilizers. This will ensure stable growth and development of the bush for about 3 years.

An example of such a mixture:

  • 1 part humus or last year's compost;
  • 1 part sand (preferably river sand);
  • 1 part of black soil or fertile sod;
  • 0.1 part of wood ash.

Superphosphate should be added to this mixture at the rate of 300 g per plant.

This composition is laid on a layer of drainage (pebbles or gravel), well compacted and spilled. Above is the root system of the vine. Then all this is covered with earth. If the planting is carried out in the fall, then immediately after planting the seedling can be insulated and covered for the winter.

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

The Charada UA grape is bisexual and therefore self-pollinates. This process will be more efficient thanks to pollinating insects or the wind, which carries pollen from one flower to another.

Pruning

If you ignore such a procedure as pruning the vine, then over time, the yield will significantly decrease. Thickening negatively affects the number of ovaries, so every year you need to remove young shoots before they become woody. Old and dead branches are also removed. Excess healthy shoots are cut to 4 leaves.

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.

The grapes of the described variety have an average resistance to frost. It is able to withstand short-term frosts down to -19 degrees. As a rule, at least once a winter, even in warm regions of the Chernozem region, there are periods when the temperature drops even lower, so it is necessary to cover the vine in the fall.

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

Diseases and pests
