How to plant Kyoho grapes
The web introduces how to plant Kyoho grapes and the Kyoho grape planting techniques and management of green plants and flowers. Let's learn about it together below.
Kyoho grapes were first produced in Japan, originally named kyoho grape. Due to their good production performance and high economic benefits, they are now cultivated worldwide and are the main cultivated variety in China's grape-growing areas. Kyoho grapes are large and plump, with a single grape weighing up to 12 grams and a cluster of grapes reaching 400-500 grams, making them look very appealing.
Kyoho grapes have strong adaptability, good disease resistance, and cold resistance. They can be planted directly from seeds or through cutting or grafting. The recommended planting time is generally in spring, from March to April, when everything is reviving, making it easier for seeds and branches to take root, germinate, and sprout leaves.
Soil selection is very important when planting Kyoho grapes. Soil with a pH value of 6.0-7.0 is most suitable for grape root development, resulting in a higher survival rate for both seed planting and cutting.
When planting with seeds, it is best to choose fertile soil. If the local soil is poor, the soil can be deeply cultivated and mixed with some compound fertilizers before planting to effectively improve the soil quality, allowing the seeds to grow quickly after germination. Kyoho grape seeds usually take 2-8 weeks to germinate from sowing to sprouting.
Cutting involves taking a 15-30 cm section from a one-year-old branch that is full and has plump buds and inserting it into soil with suitable fertility and water, then watering thoroughly until roots and leaves sprout.
Kyoho grapes require a relatively high amount of sunlight, needing at least 7-8 hours of sunlight per day for better quality. Therefore, areas with long periods of sunny weather and long daylight hours are advantageous growing regions. After the seedlings sprout, management is important. Grape vines will spread out, so it is necessary to build a trellis for the grapes to facilitate faster growth of the vines.
Generally, it takes 3 years for Kyoho grape seedlings to bear fruit, and careful care is needed during the growth process before fruiting.
The first two years are mainly focused on promoting the reproductive growth of seedlings, expanding the robustness of the plants, and appropriately removing weak branches, retaining only the strongest three main branches. It is also necessary to control flowering to prevent the grape vines from fruiting too early.
By the third year, the vines can start to bear fruit. During the growing period, multiple fertilizations and moderate watering are needed to ensure the growth and nutritional supply of the grapevines. Abundant fertilization, water, and sunlight are essential for the flowering and fruit setting stages to ensure high yield and quality of the fruit.
In case of continuous rainy and overcast weather, it is important to drain the water promptly to prevent the vines and leaves from turning yellow and dying.
In summer, when the fruiting clusters appear, protection with bags can be done. Use loose white paper bags to protect the grape clusters from wind and rain, and also take measures to prevent birds.
