Features of agricultural technology

Because the grapes Memory of the Surgeon is a fairly new variety, it is worth buying seedlings in a specialized store or nursery. So there will be confidence that this variety is grown. It should be noted that on the scions the Memory of the Surgeon does not take root well, its fruiting becomes low. On grafted crops, this grapes will also bear less fruit, it can be more often exposed to diseases, it is worse to bear frosts.

When planting seedlings it is worth sticking to the usual scheme. Even a beginner-gardener will understand the turn-based plan. First, you need to dig a fairly deep pit (up to 80 centimeters), most of it filled with loose soil and good humus. The stalk should be with strong roots, and it must be placed in a container with water for a day. Before planting, the roots should be dipped into a solution that promotes root formation and their strengthening. After this the seedling immediately falls into the prepared pit and is covered with earth so that the root of the root remains on the surface. Then it is necessary to water abundantly the landing site, if the earth strongly settles - add up to the required level. When all manipulations are made, the shank is tied.

To ensure that moisture in the soil is well preserved, you need the area where the bushes are planted, sprinkled with sawdust or overlaid with moss. Watering, too, is according to the scheme - before and after flowering. Pavlovsky recommends watering in the most arid times, sometimes fed, although this is not necessary.

Pruning is necessary for high yields. Young bushes are cut into 4-5 eyes, and mature to 8.

Since the grapes Memory of the Surgeon is characterized by dense greenery and fairly large sheets, it is necessary to remove the surplus, especially those that cover the bunches from the sun. If this is not done, then the sugar content and the size of the fruit will decrease. It is also necessary to produce pasynkovanie.

Despite the fact that this grade is frost-resistant and, according to the statements, it can transfer the cold to -23, bushes should nevertheless be well covered for winter time. Thus, it will be possible to save the plant from freezing, to maintain yield.

To preserve its own nerves and harvest, the winegrower must handle the bushes from different pests, although this variety is not so much susceptible to disease.

Mildew: prevention and treatment

This disease is also called gray flour. It affects the entire plant, except the root system. Leaves, buds, flowers, vines and fruits are covered with white coating. The memory of the Surgeon is quite a resistant variety to this disease, but still it is sometimes exposed to it.

Most mildew begins to affect plants in places of high humidity. The first sign of this disease is the appearance of white spots on the outside of the leaves, and on the reverse there is a white mealy coating. Progressing, the disease causes yellowing of the sheets, their drying and dying. Similarly, it occurs with inflorescences, fruits and vines.

To prevent this disease in the soil, it is necessary to make phosphorus and potassium fertilizers, mulch the soil, planting bushes, spraying them with fungicides. The most effective preparations against mildew: copper oxide, chlorine, Bordeaux mixture and "Anthracol". The first treatment is performed when the young shoots have grown to 15 centimeters, the second - at the time of flowering, the latter - at a time when the fruits have become the size of a pea.

Oedium: powdery mildew

This disease destroys the vines. They begin to develop poorly, the leaves shrivel up on them, they are covered with a completely white coating, and then they die. Especially affected by vines, located in the middle of a dense plant. Oidium appears in places with high humidity and poor ventilation.

For prevention, it is necessary to increase the ventilation of bushes, to fight with weeds, to make pasynkovanie. Also treatment with special preparations is necessary: "Horus", "Topaz" or "Tiovit". Processing times are the same as for mildew.

With gray rot, which can also hit a plant, fighting is done by the same methods.
