Fitting technology

Planting holes are prepared in advance, it is preferable to plant grapes in the spring. But this variety is best planted in November. Initially choose a place for growing crops. A well-lit area, which will be closed from drafts if possible, will do.

Galbena Nou has no preference for soil composition.

Seedlings for planting are checked for defects, the roots are carefully examined. If there are damaged or injured roots, they are removed.

The planting hole should be 50 cm in diameter. The depth depends on how long the roots of the seedlings are, and should be a little deeper.

A layer of drainage is laid on the bottom, then soil mixed with humus and superphosphate.

Timing

Each region has its own landing dates. It all depends on the climatic features of the growing area. It is preferable to plant Galbena Nou grapes in November. But so that the seedling has time to take root before the first frost.

Planting patterns

Because the grapes are vigorous, they need a lot of space. Distance between rows 3 m, between seedlings 2-2.5 m.

Vineyard care

Yield depends on how well the plants are cared for. By performing standard agricultural practices in a timely manner, the gardener receives the declared harvest.

Irrigation

Regular watering is needed only at the initial stage. Water is especially important in the first years of the life of the bush. Water regularly after the top layer of soil dries out. To preserve moisture, it is recommended to loosen the top layer.

Adult plants are watered only 3 times: before flowering, after fruiting and in preparation for winter.

The berries of the grapes crack, so watering should be moderate, but it is better not to allow the soil to dry out.

Fertilizer

Top dressing is necessary for young and adult plants. Galbena Nou requires organics, but you can’t be too zealous. Oversaturation will cause leaves and shoots to grow, but no berries.

In early spring and autumn, it is recommended to feed the bushes with complex mineral fertilizers.

Pruning and shaping the vine

Gardeners recommend pruning in the fall, then the procedure will be painless for the plants. 45 eyes are enough for normal growth and development of the hands.

The bushes are also cut in the middle of summer, but this only applies to inflorescences. A large number of ovaries will cause the berries to be small.

If there are not enough brushes, all the strength of the bush will go to the formation of the vine, it will be thick. Trimming brushes should be done empirically. The gardener himself displays the number of ovaries that must be left.

Seasonal pest prevention and control

Oidium is a disease that damages the Galbena Nou variety. Therefore, preventive measures and treatments are required. If you follow all the methods of agricultural technology, the bush is rarely exposed to the disease.

Treatment with colloidal sulfur or fungicides will help save the plant from spreading the disease.

It is recommended to carry out autumn-spring processing of grapes as a preventive measure. Then the plants will not get sick.

Mulching

Carried out in order to keep moisture in the soil. It will also help prevent weeds from growing. Gardeners recommend using well-rotted dry humus as mulch instead of dry grass. It will also perform the function of top dressing for the bush.

Methods of reproduction

Grapes are propagated in three ways, the gardener has the right to choose a method convenient for himself:

Seeds. The mother's genes are not preserved, the process is long, the first fruits are obtained in 5-6 years.
Shanks. Common way. The cuttings are cut and dug into the ground, after the appearance of the roots they are transplanted to a permanent place.
Vaccination. This method requires a high-quality rootstock and scion. Maternal characteristics are retained.

Determining the way to grow grapes is not difficult, you need to weigh the pros and cons.

When the vine begins to bear fruit
