Arched grapes: cultivation of a variety
Arched grapes love warmth. But nowadays they began to cultivate more and more in cold climates.And this business is going well. To avoid the death of vineyards, you need to know how to correctly plant, choose the soil. And also how to properly care.
What soil is needed for planting? Sandy and sandy loam. The grape roots go deep. When choosing a site for planting, make sure that groundwater is not close to the surface layer of the soil. Because it can kill the vine. The variety grows well on the southwest or southeast side.
The landing pit is prepared in advance, in the fall. This is necessary for the earth to be saturated with oxygen. And also so that harmful insects and disease spores die. Because they cannot survive in cold temperatures.
The area of the planting site is 1 x 1 m. 2-3 days before planting, a drainage system must be placed on the bottom of the pit. It includes broken brick, expanded clay, gravel. Top it is necessary to pour a fertile mixture of peat, sand, humus. Mix them in equal proportions. Each layer requires mineral dressing... Namely: 100-200 grams of superphosphate, 30 grams of ammonium nitrate. And also 100 grams of potassium salt. You can use wood ash instead of potassium salt. No mixtures are needed on the extreme soil layer. Because the root system can get burned. Next, you need to pour 2 buckets of warm settled water into the planting pit. Then let the earth settle slightly.
The Arkovy grape variety is unusual in terms of the type of root system. It can be open or closed. Therefore, the fit will be slightly different. Arched grape seedlings with an open type of root system are soaked for a couple of hours. Because the roots must awaken and be saturated with water. It is recommended to soak in a heteroauxin solution.
In the center of the planting pit, you need to make an elevation of about 15 cm from the ground. A shrub is planted on it. The roots need to be straightened. Their direction should be exactly downward.
With bushes with a closed type of root system, the situation is easier. It is necessary to dig a hole of the required size in the central part of the recess. After the seedlings have gone to live in a new place, the soil must be well watered in a large volume. Next, the land needs to be mulched. To keep the moisture in.
Further watering of the plants is carried out every week. One shrub usually requires 10-20 liters of water. Water procedures are stopped for the third summer month. To prepare the grapes for the winter season.

An important feature of the variety is the strong growth of the bush. For this reason, its formation must be correct. If the bush is thickened, you will not see a high yield. In the first year of life, grapes are not pruned. The first pruning of Arochny grapes is carried out next spring. 2 lashes remain on the bush. They carry out different pruning. The first is the fruit link. Here you need to leave 5-8 kidneys. The second whip is a replacement knot. Pruning is done for 2 buds.
In the third year, the replacement knot is trimmed. Trimming is carried out in the same way as the first. 5-8 buds are left on the first branch. The second is again left with 2 kidneys. Next year, on the replacement knot, the fruit-bearing branch is formed again.
The collection of the first bunches occurs from a bush that is 2 years old. For this reason, pruning must be done every year. Pruning the grape bush in the fall is also required. After harvesting, the bush is cut under a stump. If the vine does not form as it should, if the old branches are not pruned, then the fruits will become small. They will also lose their taste.

Shelter can be made with agro-material: agrospan or spunbond.This covering agromaterial promotes the transmission of oxygen to the bushes. And also the creation of excellent conditions for the successful wintering of the plant. In the north, grapes require good cover. On top you need to throw spruce branches. And also sprinkle it all with earth.
Important information! If the winter is with little snow, it is necessary to additionally cover the vine.

Alexander, 42 years old, Sevastopol:
“On my site there are several grape varieties, not one Archny grape. I have been cultivating it, by the way, for 3-4 years already. I planted grapes near the gazebo. The vine spreads exactly along it. When the bunches ripen, my gazebo turns into a decorative variety. From the south, the grapes are red-pink. From the north, only still greenish-yellow and pinkish.
We take fresh berries for food. We rip straight from the bush. Bunches, by the way, remain hanging on the plant for quite a long time. Moreover, the fruits have the same taste and appearance as before. Wasps and sparrows attack the vineyard from time to time. But we stand on the defense of our handsome man.
