Today, growing grapes in an area with a harsh Siberian climate is no longer surprising. But you can surprise with the quality and size of exotic berries grown on your site.
With proper care and adherence to some "secrets" one bunch of grapes can reach five kilograms of weight! We'll talk about these rules and "secrets" today.
First condition
The key to the desired result is, of course, the cultivated crop itself. I tried different ones, but I can recommend five, in my opinion, the best - Transfiguration,Rizamat, Arcadia, Sofia and TaifiPink.
Second condition
A large bunch can only be grown on a strong bush. The ideal age for fruiting vines is 3-5 years.
Golden Rules
Root dressing
It needs to be produced regularly 4-5 times per season - from spring to late autumn. Because even after the harvest has already been harvested, the vine itself should ripen well - for the grandiose result of next year.
- I use for the first early feeding superphosphate mixture - 20 g; ammonium nitrate - 10 g and potassium salt - 5 g. All this - for 10 liters water. This solution is enough for one 3-4 year old bush.
- The second time - at the end of spring, when the vines grow most intensively, also in 10 liters breed 10 gpotassium magnesium, 20 g of ammonium nitrate - 20 and 10 g of boric acid.
- When ovaries form, it would be good to water the bushes. superphosphate, and in autumn potassium salt solution - 10 g, superphosphate - 20 g, boric acid - 1 g, zinc sulfate - 2 g, manganese sulfate - 2 g and potassium iodide - 1 g.
Of course, for the best results, the soil must be rich in organic matter. Since I keep a cow, I use last year's manure for organic feeding (humus). The main thing is not to overdo it and not "burn" the root system.
Stealing
Grapes, like tomatoes, need carefully pinch. In order to get several large bunches, you need to mercilessly remove all the numerous small stepchildren, weak shoots and twin shoots. So the vine will give all its strength to the "chosen ones" of the fruitm (one bunch for 2-3 shoots).
I also pinch the tops of the bushes without fail.
Important!!! It is necessary to thin out not only the vine, but also the forming bunches of grapes, plucking out parthenocarpics from them - small, not developed berries.
Secret
A method that few people know about and use in practice helps to grow the largest bunches of grapes - banding of shoots.
When the brush has faded, at the base of the fruit arrow, I tightly wind copper wire in several rows. Thus, the outflow of nutrients into the root system is disturbed, and all of them remain in the brush, significantly increasing the size of the berries.
Not forget! Watering and processing of vines from fungal diseases and pests are very important in growing grapes.
Heed our advice and you will surely grow a miracle grape with large juicy bunches - all for a sight! (original article on the site)
