Grapes Krasnen: description of the cultivar, cultivation and reviews

Fans of fresh grapes are happy to grow in summer cottages or buy in the markets sweet and juicy grapes Krasen. This variety is universal in its own way. It is suitable for the production of wines, and for the production of juices. And the popularity of fresh grapes of this variety is maintained not only due to external appeal and increased sugar content, but also the absence of pits.

History of the variety

To develop the variety, the method of generative hybridization was applied. This is one of the main breeding methods, based on pollination of generative organs. With this method, maternal flowers are removed from the maternal bisexual grapes, and then the pollination with the paternal variety is carried out. If there is only a female type of flower on the grapes, then it is simply pollination with the father's form. The main difficulty of this method is the correct selection of varieties for crossing.

The scientists of the scientific research institute "Magarach", who studies viticulture and winemaking, worked on obtaining this hybrid form. The Institute is located in the city of Yalta. To obtain a variety of grapes Krasen used an over-resistant seedless seedless Magarach and frost-resistant variety Antey magarachsky. The result of the selection work pleased the creators. The hybrid form proved to be universal, suitable for industrial cultivation and for small farms, stable and undemanding. Such varieties are considered to be table-technical.

NIViV "Magarach" received a patent for the harvested variety, the number of which is 06285. After that, industrial vineyards were planted for technical purposes, and the cultivation for home cultivation was started.

Appearance

Grapes Red has large, medium-bunched clusters, in which relatively small berries are collected. On average, the weight of the bunch is just over 600 g, but there are giants weighing more than 1 kg. Bunches have a pointed conical shape.

Krasheny berries are rounded, slightly elongated, blue-violet in color. A wax coating is visible on the surface. The flesh of the berries is juicy and fleshy. It has a light nightshade and nutmeg flavor. The skin is firm, but thin. The juice is rich in color. In the pulp come the rudiments of bones. Their size does not exceed 2 mm. To the touch, the rudiments are slightly denser than the flesh itself. In fact, they are not taken into account and rank the grape variety Krasen to kishmish.

Variety description

Despite the fact that the parent forms of Krasen were early, the variety itself refers to the average age of aging. The grapes need 135-145 days to reach ripeness. These terms depend on the way the crop is used and the climatic zone of cultivation. Grapes Krasnen, a description of which is given in this section, ripens in the southern regions by mid-August. In more northern regions - by September. For winemaking Krasen on the bushes are maintained until the second half of September. And for table use, grapes can be removed earlier.

Red - a strong hybrid variety. It stands out almost one hundred percent fertility of the kidneys. In this case, the kidney can bear fruit, even if it frosts during frosts. Grapes Crude - in principle, a high-yielding variety. With industrial cultivation, the crop is up to 180 quintals per hectare. A feature of the variety is the ability of the bush to withstand high loads without compromising the appearance and quality of the berries. The maturation period does not change at the same time. Each vine can withstand two large clusters or three medium.

Considering the grapes of Krasen, the description of the brand is worth continuing with indicators of frost resistance. The bush is able to survive the winter with frosts to -26 ° C. In the southern regions it is not harbored for the winter, in a colder climate - at the request of the horticulturist. But if the winter promises to be frosty, it is better to hide.

The variety is fine in the Crimea, in the Krasnodar Territory. The climate of these regions is optimal for a good harvest. The variety is suitable for growing in the Cherkassy and Kiev regions of Ukraine, Rostov and Voronezh regions of Russia. Good frost resistance makes it possible to obtain crops even in northern regions. Krasen adequately showed itself in Tyumen, Omsk, near Novosibirsk and Barnaul.

Indisputable advantage

An important quality for the variety is considered resistance to diseases and pests. This indicator is obtained due to the parent (parent) variety. The stain is resistant to the root phylloxera. Successfully confronts oidium and mildew. In addition, resistance to gray rot is observed. An additional advantage of the variety can be considered the fact that berries do not eat wasps.

Agrotechnical features

Growing grapes Krasen, a gardener can influence the weight and size of the bunches by forming a bush. Compact formation increases yield.

For Krasen, the polarity of growth is characteristic. This means that the upper buds are growing strongly, so planting shrubs on homesteads is near gazebos or steady trellis. The polarity of growth can be changed by transferring the ends of strong vines to lower levels.

Organic farming

Proponents of organic farming believe that the grapes Krasen, reviews of the taste qualities of which are very eloquent, can be grown with minimal use of chemicals. This quality becomes very relevant due to the popularity of organic products. As you remember, Krasen is resistant to a large list of grape diseases, therefore, it is not necessary to carry out numerous sprayings. For prevention, you can perform two preventive treatments and all.

Proper watering

According to the rules, the first watering of this grapes is performed after removal of the winter shelter (if the grapes are grown in cold areas). Before this, the vines are tied to the lower lath of the trellis or gazebo. Up to three years, bushes are poured under the root. This means that near the bush digging a piece of pipe, and it poured a few buckets (3-4) is not cold water. Water is covered with 0.5 liters of wood ash. The second watering is performed before flowering. The third in should be done during the formation of the fruit. Watering is not carried out from the moment of the appearance of the color of berries, but before wintering they renew. The last watering is called water charging or sub-winter.

Adult shrubs do not need so many watering. After three years, the grapes of Krasen are watered once, before entering the winter.

Top dressing

When planting Krasen in the hole fertilizers are introduced, which is enough for three years of full development and formation of the bush. Then begins the fertile period, so the vine requires additional nutrients. The variety can be fed with organic fertilizers (manure, bird droppings, compost, peat). Mineral fertilizing is carried out with ammonium nitrate, urea (nitrogen fertilizers), superphosphates (phosphorus fertilizers), potassium salt, chloride and potassium sulfate (potassium top dressing).

The introduction of micronutrients is performed in three stages:

1. At the end of wintering. During this period, 40 g of superphosphate, 30 g of potassium and 45 g of saltpeter are applied to the soil under each bush. Top of the fertilizer is sprinkled with a layer of soil.
2. Before the beginning of flowering. During this period, organic fertilizers are introduced into the soil. To do this, two weeks before the introduction of manure or litter, dilute with water and stand under a tight lid. Before application, the liquid is again diluted with water in a proportion of 1 to 6 and potassium (15 g) and superphosphate (25 g) are added to each bucket.
3. Before the beginning of ripening of berries superphosphate (50 g) and potassium (20 g) fertilizers are applied for each bush.

Since July, the feeding is stopped. Otherwise, you can slow the maturation of the crop. And if you overfeed the Redhead, the fruiting may not begin at all.

Trimming

In the period from spring to autumn grape variety Krasen requires 3 pruning:

1. In spring, when the air warms up to 5 ° C. Pruning has a sanitary orientation (removal of damaged parts).
2. In the summer . Now, pinching, pasyning and removing unnecessary branches is carried out to improve ventilation and light access.
3. In the autumn . After harvesting - removing weak shoots, and, if necessary, after discarding the foliage.

Wine making and other uses

This grapes since 2008 is in the register of varieties for industrial cultivation. Due to high sugar accumulation (30 g / 100 cm³), the variety is used for the production of table and dessert wine. The trade mark "Magarach" promotes the production of Cahors from the grape of Krasen. The variety allows obtaining a high percentage of wort (up to 78) yield, which has a deep deep color.

From Krasen you can get juice on both home and industrial scale. In the household of their berries cooked compotes and jam.

Many gardeners, growing a variety of grapes Krasen, reviews leave positive. From its fruits prepare fine drinks which will be to taste to refined gourmets.
