Growing varieties
Variety suitable for growing in the garden
It is a versatile hybrid. It is suitable for growing on large plantations and for small gardening plots. To get a rich harvest, you should study all the rules for its cultivation every year. The variety is not yet widespread, but it will happen very soon, because it is worthy of attention.
A feature of the culture is its selectivity to soil and the time of planting seedlings.
Landing features
For planting, shaded areas are suitable, in which there are no drafts. This grape is thermophilic and prefers sunny places. On the south or southwest side of the site, he will be comfortable.
A suitable soil is black soil. Heavy or sandy soils will not work. Saplings do not take root in them or develop poorly.Before landing, it is worth looking at the depth of the groundwater. If they are shallow, rhizome decay may occur.
Before planting in the ground, the roots must be kept in water for 3-4 hours so that they straighten up and are saturated with moisture. A hole is dug in advance and a nutritious soil mixture is poured into the middle. Mix the removed soil with fertilizers.
Shrubs are best planted in early spring. In the fall, before the onset of frost, heat-loving seedlings may not take root, since their root system is not yet sufficiently strengthened.
When planting, it is worth maintaining the distance between the bushes up to 3 m, in the row spacing up to 4 m, so that it is convenient to put supports for the vine.
Watering and fertilizing
This culture loves sun and moisture, but does not tolerate waterlogging. Therefore, the best irrigation system is drip irrigation. Dosed introduction of moisture into the soil will not allow the root system to rot and prevent many common diseases. With such watering, it is convenient to apply fertilizers to the root zone without the risk of falling on the foliage.
For a balanced receipt of moisture and nutrients, watering and feeding activities are regularly combined.
For the first time, 20 liters of water are added under each bush after planting. Every spring and autumn, in addition to liquid fertilizers, humus with organic components is introduced.
After watering, mulching is carried out with cut grass or chopped bark, which will help to avoid overdrying the soil in the root zone and protect the grapes from weeds.
Pruning
For the proper development of the plant, the process of pruning and forming the leaf crown and vines is necessary. For the variety, the correct distribution of the load on each bush is mandatory (up to 40 eyes).
On a fruiting vine, no more than 8 eyes are left to provide more ovary and maintain the size of the brushes when they ripen.
Diseases and their prevention
According to the description of the Furor grape variety, the culture is resistant to many diseases. To avoid problems, it is better to carry out measures to prevent possible diseases.
To do this, spray with Bordeaux liquid, fungicide solutions or colloidal sulfur. They process the sheet and make sure that the liquid does not drain - they carry out fine spraying of protective compounds.
Processing is done twice - before flowering and during the formation of inflorescences. Such simple activities will ensure a healthy and high-quality harvest.
Conclusion
Furor grapes are grown throughout the country. Due to its excellent qualities and characteristics, the culture will soon win one of the first places in viticulture. The variety is promising for mass sales and cultivation in large and small farms. Suitable for fresh consumption, for making juices and wine, for winter storage.
