During the season, about 30 kilograms of the crop can be harvested from one bush. This is the average that is possible in all weather conditions. When using top dressing, you can achieve better results. And also the length of daylight affects the number and size of fruits.

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.

Growing features

Kishmish Zaporozhye is a vigorous plant, so it needs to be molded. This characteristic must be taken into account when growing a variety. Due to innate frost resistance, grapes can withstand up to 26 degrees of frost.

Landing

It is recommended to plant seedlings in spring or autumn. When choosing the first option, the optimal time is considered from the end of March to the beginning of the second spring month. In this case, the grapes will adapt to weather conditions and will be able to survive both sudden temperature changes and severe cold snaps.

Experienced gardeners note that when cultivating, it is necessary to arrange rows on an insignificant height. Direction - from north to south. The required distance between the rows is from 2 to 3 meters. When planting grapes in spring, you need to carefully monitor the temperature of the soil and the weather. The soil must be warm enough, otherwise the seedlings may suffer. With the onset of autumn, after transferring the grapes to a permanent site, the plant needs to be covered.

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 grapes are able to pollinate on their own due to the bisexual flowers. The flowering period begins in the summer.

Pruning

A mandatory procedure for grapes of this variety is pruning. If the work is not completed on time, the quality of the crop will be significantly reduced. It is worth noting that the plant is prone to overload, so the excess shoots are removed. Gardeners advise leaving 25 to 33 eyes on the bush. It is recommended to cut the vine at once by 6-7 eyes. As soon as the winter frost has finally receded, you can start pruning. And also the plant should be rid of damaged, diseased and weak branches.

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.

Watering

Stagnation of moisture is dangerous for grapes, it can lead to the death of the plant. Therefore, you need to be careful when irrigating. Kishmish Zaporozhye needs to be watered once a week. For one plant, from 3 to 4 buckets of water are used, depending on the air temperature and the climate of the region.

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.

Top dressing

The use of fertilizers is indispensable to obtain a bountiful and tasty harvest. Experts advise to apply top dressing throughout the entire growing season - 4-5 times per season. Organic formulations used dry are best.

Frost resistance and the need for shelter

This variety is not afraid of frost, which is why it can be grown in the northern regions. Due to this innate characteristic, the grapes do not need to be covered for the winter. Despite this characteristic, grapes can still be protected from severe frosts.To do this, you need to remove the vine, transfer it to the ground and cover with coniferous branches. And you can also use special agrofibre.

Experienced gardeners recommend avoiding dry grass or foliage. Rodents can hide in it, which will harm the plant.

Young plants are much more sensitive to the vagaries of the weather than adult bushes, so they need shelter.

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

Diseases and pests

However, some insects, such as wasps, pose a great danger to the plant. The sweet smell attracts their attention and they begin to eat the harvest. To protect the bunches, use special bags made of thin but durable fabric. Fruits are placed in them in the process of ripening.

To make the garden culture feel comfortable, it is recommended not to abandon preventive treatment. The necessary formulations can be purchased at any specialized store.

Storage

Harvested berries are not recommended to be stored for a long time. From this, they lose their taste and mouth-watering aroma. And also the crop cannot boast of high transportability.
