Watering
This stage of leaving is of great importance. Do not allow the soil under the vine to dry out. This will negatively affect the yield of the variety and its taste.
Top dressing

In addition, their maturation is accelerated, and the bones disappear. Processing is carried out once, choosing for this period when the flowers have blossomed 100%.
For processing, a solution of GA-3 30-40 mg / l is used. Re-processing the grapes is not recommended, as this can significantly impair the transportability of the bunches.
