Growing recommendations
This culture is not demanding on heat, therefore, planting is carried out in sunny and shaded areas. It is worth choosing a loamy or chernozem soil with a low acid-base balance (no more than 4%). It is important to protect the bushes from excessive wind, because the bunches are massive and often break off when exposed to the wind.
A seedling is planted in the fall, before the onset of frost. It is better to do this in early October, so that the plant can get used to the new place and not be exposed to the upcoming frost. To begin with, dig a hole. Its size should correspond to the size of the root system. Put 3 kg of humus inside. If the groundwater is close to the surface of the earth, then it is worth installing a drainage system at the bottom of the hole.
After that, a purchased healthy grafted seedling is placed inside the pit and sprinkled with earth tightly. At the end, watering is carried out with warm, settled water. Per plant - 20 liters of water. A metal rod is installed nearby, to which a seedling is tied. The distance between the bushes is 4 m.
Care features
Water the plants with warm water only.
The Parisian grape must be watered, depending on the degree of soil drainage. It all depends on the region of growth. In the southern and central regions, watering is carried out much more often than in other regions of the country. Each time the roots of the plant should be watered with 20 liters of warm water. After the first watering, the soil is mulched using straw and humus.Otherwise, after each watering, you will have to loosen the soil and remove weeds on your own.
Top dressing is carried out twice during the growing season.
- Before flowering, watering is carried out with a solution of potassium nitrate (40 g per 10 l of water).
- A few weeks before the upcoming fruiting, watering is carried out with a solution of ammonium nitrate (20 g per 10 l of water).
At least 25 liters of nutrient solution are poured under each plant. To prepare the variety for frost, a mixture of 2 kg of humus and 1 kg of peat should be added under the root.
It is worth cutting off shoots and dry branches a month after all the leaves have completely fallen from the bush. The antennae and sprouted stepchildren are subject to removal. It is worth leaving only useful and compacted areas, because they tie fruits better. Pruning should be done for 7-8 buds.
Diseases and pests
The main diseases that affect this species are rot, anthracnose and bacteriosis.
- A solution of Bordeaux liquid (4 g per 10 liters of water) will help get rid of all types of rot. Spraying is carried out at intervals of 7 days.
- A solution of Carbomil (40 g per 10 liters of water) will help against anthracnose.
- It is impossible to cure a plant from bacteriosis. We'll have to uproot the whole bush.
Of the pests, grape speck is often found. In the fight against her, Aktara is used. Treatment with a solution (30 g of the drug per 10 l of water) is carried out at intervals of 10 days.
