Productivity

From one bush in production conditions, about 12 kg are obtained. In households, the harvest is much larger.

Place for planting

The soil for planting grapes must be chernozem, loamy, well-fertilized and provided with moisture. The place should be chosen so that the bush is well lit and the berries are sugared. In areas where the climate is not very hot, grapes should be planted near the southern, south-western or southeastern wall, near a high fence.

Landing

The pit for planting in the form of a cube with a side of one meter is best prepared from autumn or early spring. Gardeners with experience argue that a pit with a side of 70 cm is enough, since the root of the grapes grows by 60 cm. The bottom is sprinkled with rubble or sand. From above lay drainage, which can be sawdust of 10 cm thick or small plates. Yama warms up in the sun. To do this, cover it with a film. The soil is mixed with humus, sand, expanded clay. Add half a kilogram of ash. Here, a couple of glasses of wheat or oats are poured out.

Grapes can not be planted in places where water stagnates, in lowlands, places with a close occurrence of groundwater. The bush is tall and sprawling, therefore it is necessary to plant it at a distance of 3 meters from each other. The rows are usually located one and a half meters away. If you dig a smaller pit, the grapes will grow, but it will not bear fruit in full force. Plant bushes in late May. Before this for a couple of weeks, the plants are hardened, taking to the street and gradually leaving for the night.

Planting the seedlings in the ground, pour the sun-warmed soil into the prepared pit, in the resulting hillock dig a hole 30 cm deep and by transshipment immersed in it a clod of earth with a plant. They fall asleep on the ground, watered and covered with a black film. It will protect the soil from drying out. You can cover the film with a layer of mulch instead of film, using caked sawdust, grass or straw.

Shrubs of the Dombkovskaya Memory grape form multi-hued, fan-shaped or placed on a vertical trellis. Pruning is carried out on 7 eyes. The variety forms brushes on substitute kidneys. On rich soils with irrigation, given the strength of the bush, the stem is left high, the fruit stems are cut into 10 eyes.

Reproduction

One of the easiest ways - layers. Escape, inclined to the ground, bend lower and lower. For reliability, you can pin it with a wooden horn or fix it with something heavy. The disadvantage of this method is that it should be done directly near the mother's bush.

Cultivation from the handle is a little more complicated. But it gives an opportunity to get a large number of seedlings in any convenient place. Cuttings should have a length of 15 cm, thickness - not less than 8 mm and three, in extreme cases, two, kidneys. They are stored in a refrigerator or cellar at a temperature of about 5 degrees Celsius. In the spring cuttings are treated with potassium permanganate, cut off. The upper section is treated with a garden crock. It is good to soak the cuttings in the biostimulator solution before planting. Beneath the knife, scratches are made with a knife, in place of which roots are quickly formed.

In the box with the drainage pour the land with sand, so it was easy. It can be dropped directly into plastic cups or cut off bottles. Cuttings are soaked in the melt water for several days, dipped in a clay chatterbox and planted in the ground to a depth of 5 cm. Watered, cuttings are covered with glasses or a film. The box is installed in a warm place, after opening the kidney, the shelter is removed. Planted in the ground, slightly deepening to form additional roots. First you can land in buckets. So it will be convenient to carry them from place to place during hardening.

In more southerly regions it is easier to plant cuttings in the ground to a permanent place, tilting them at an angle of 45 degrees. The two lower buds are immersed in the ground and rammed. The kidney that remains, along with the cuttings, is gently covered with earth. These cuttings are constantly watered, not allowing to dry out. For winter hide from frost.

Reproduction by green cuttings is similar to the previous method. Cuttings cut off during thinnings of the bush are planted in cups. Lower leaves are removed before this. The upper cut is located a couple of centimeters above the kidney, the lower one is made obliquely under the knot.

To check if your grapes are growing well, you need to measure it in the fall. The bush should be up to a meter and a half tall, have several branches and a strong root system.

Watering

In cloudy rainy weather, the bushes of the Dombkovskaya Memorial grape are poured once a week. In dry weather, this should be done every other day.

The next year, in dry weather, watered once a week. Adult shrubs are not watered.

Formation of the bush in summer

Blurring green stems should be done regularly and on time. Otherwise, the bush will thicken and overgrow with shoots, the berries will be small, they can be polished.

It is possible to obtain fruits of a larger size by combining the sprouts in a complex and spraying with gibberellin, a plant hormone. He handles the bush during active flowering and at the end of it. Dilute in a concentration of 30 and 70 g of gibberellin per liter of water, respectively.

If the grapes of Dombkovskaya's memory hibernate without shelter and frosts do not exceed 28 degrees, less than a third of the eyes do not freeze. Therefore, it is better to cover it for the winter. The vine by this time fully ripens. You need to shelter materials that let in air. Otherwise, it is possible to get out during the thaw.
