The seedling is installed in the hole, the roots are sprinkled, watering is carried out in the amount of twenty liters of water. The soil is compacted, mulched with sawdust or dry leaves. It is necessary to immediately install the trellis and tie up the vine.
Grape cuttings can be planted in spring and autumn. The radish grows slowly on the Viney Rum, a year later two five-centimeter shoots grow.
The soil composition should be sandy or fertile. If the earth is alkaline, then the pot will not have enough potassium, in the more acidic areas he will need to add sodium and phosphorus.

On the shoot there should not be more than two clusters, otherwise the berries begin to shrink from overload, their taste is deteriorating, the next season there is a threat not to get a harvest. In the cultivation of plants for industrial purposes used gibberellin, increasing the size of the berries.

In the spring, until the plant has dissolved the kidneys, it is necessary to perform a preventive spraying of diseases and harmful parasites.
By the winter season the grape plant is laid on the ground, the old vines are covered with straw.
Breeding methods
