Often the vineyard, it is a pity to cut off too much, which is why it removes only a few cm from the larger branches. This leads to the fact that gradually the culture is not enough sunlight, development shoots slows down due to a lack of nutrients, the vine becomes thinner, and the harvest skudeet; taste quality grapes become worse. To increase the amount and quality of the fruit, it is required every year cut by 50-90% growth to fruiting shrub.
Another common mistake - do not trim the shoots. Often people only began to grow grapes, it is believed that the right to remove thin shoots, keeping the thickest. Some do the opposite - get rid of the fat, leaving only the youngest. Both options are erroneous, lead to lower yields. It should be every year to remove all the shoots, from which the collected berries (for the next year the amount of the harvest to them becomes small), nevyzrevshie, darkening bush. Need to leave those fruits are not allowed, regardless of the thickness.
Even if the shoots were chosen correctly, the gardener may use the wrong cutting equipment. In mature shoots should be left pyatochku, about the size of 1 cm. Beginner vineyard, it should be remembered that this is only true for the thick branches, if a similar way to deal with young thin spikes, they can be covered with mold, rot.
It is true, and you must choose the period for pruning grapes. It is best suited for this process late autumn. After harvesting the winter winegrowers harbor vines and pruning should be carried out in 14-21 days after leaf fall. The first pruning is best done with 1 to October 10; mainly carried out in the second half of the month. For frost-resistant varieties will suit a later period. Should not be delayed until frost. When establishing negative temperatures (if the street colder -3 ° C) vine may crack.
Another blunder - leaving laterals on the branches. second-order shoots formed on older branches lead to thickening of the bush. As for their development and growth requires nutrients, fruiting shoots receive a smaller amount, which leads to a decrease in the quality and quantity of the crop. For this reason, stepchildren need to be uninstalled. It is necessary to do it right: first you need to grow 1-2 leaf, then over them to nip off the tip of the shoot.
There are other errors that lead to lower yields. To avoid them, it is recommended to consult with experienced growers. In addition, it is possible to study special literature, familiarize yourself with a video tutorial which shows step by step process.
