How to cultivate grapes
A detailed introduction concerns the cultivation of grapes and the techniques for planting and managing grapes in the aspect of green plant maintenance. Let's understand it together next.
Everyone must have heard the saying "eat grapes without spitting out the skin," but it is not just a simple slogan. Because some elements contained in the grape skin can not only help to lower blood lipid levels but also have the effects of enhancing immunity and preventing cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases, consumption is beneficial. However, due to issues like pesticide residues in grape cultivation today, people are no longer brave enough to eat grape skins. So, how can you grow good grapes? Below, Xiao Nong Jun has compiled key points of high-quality and high-yield grape cultivation techniques to teach you how to grow good grapes!
Actually, the grape plant has relatively easy growth conditions and can be planted in many places.
1. Temperature aspect
It only requires a minimum temperature of about 15 degrees to survive, which is the spring temperature in most regions. Therefore, if you are interested, you can choose to plant in the spring, which is the germination period.
2. Water aspect
Grapes have high water requirements, with more water needed in the early growth stage. In the later fruiting stage, due to the robust roots, the water requirement decreases significantly. Therefore, excessive watering is not recommended, as it can cause excessive humidity, leading to excessive growth without fruiting and easily causing diseases such as black spot and gray mold.
3. Light aspect
Grapes also have certain requirements for light. If you only want to use the grape plant as a canopy, you only need to provide sufficient water and a certain amount of basic fertilizer, as it is a vine plant. If you want to eat grapes, you need to take good care of it because grapes require a certain intensity of sunlight to grow normally. Insufficient sunlight can cause grape flowers to fall or not bear fruit, only疯狂 growth.
4. Pruning aspect
To prevent grapes from growing wildly, you can剪掉 some of the branches and leaves, but you cannot cut them all. You need to keep the leaves that can cover the grape fruits because too much sun can cause sunscald. So, after pruning, make sure to fertilize.
5. Fertilization aspect
The fertilizers needed by grapes are similar to most crops, with the main macronutrients being nitrogen, phosphorus, and potassium. The trace elements needed are few, but they are essential. You can choose to apply foliar fertilizer to supplement these trace elements. For topdressing, if the soil pH is below 6.0, applying dolomitic lime or limestone is sufficient.
6. Planting method
Although grapes are vine plants, they can also be planted using the same methods as other trees, such as cutting and layering. However, these methods require a certain amount of time for growth before they can start bearing fruit. If you are raising grapes personally, you can choose to buy some well-developed grapevines and transplant them. It is also essential to build a grape trellis in advance, and it will become a natural canopy in two years!
