Key Points and Precautions for Grape Cultivation
The demand for grapes in the Chinese market is still significant, so there are many grape-growing areas in China. How are grapes cultivated? Let's learn about the key points and precautions for grape cultivation.
Seedlings
Grape cultivation generally adopts the method of transplanting seedlings, so before planting, it is necessary to dig good seedling holes and add a proper amount of farm manure as a base fertilizer. After applying the base fertilizer, an appropriate amount of mixed fertilizer can be mixed into the soil. Planting in April or May should be prepared in advance.
Water Resource Management
After planting, good management of grape seedlings is also necessary. After planting, we should water sufficiently to stabilize the roots, cover with plastic film, and then seal the water outlet with wet soil. Controlling planting density is also important. Do not water too much during the seedling stage; a small amount of water can be added when the soil is dry. After the seedlings survive, the frequency of watering can be increased. If it's hot in summer, avoid watering at noon, usually in the morning and evening.
Setting Up Trellises
Grapes are a type of vine fruit, so it is necessary to set up trellises when the grapes are not in the peak growth period. The trellises should be sturdy enough to withstand strong winds and prevent the plants from being damaged by the wind. When the new grape shoots grow to about 20 centimeters, the grape planting work should be done properly, and an appropriate amount of top dressing should be applied, controlling the amount and nutrient ratio. After the grape planting is successful, water should be applied once every half month. Watering and weeding should be done simultaneously to improve soil permeability, enhance the absorption of water and nutrients, and promote grape growth.
Shaping and Pruning
The growth rate of grape branches is relatively fast, so during the peak growth period of grapes, it is necessary to suppress the growth of the branches appropriately, and properly cut the long, dense, and overgrown branches. If the growth is poor, those unhealthy branches should be cut. At the same time, it is necessary to cut the bud kernels on the main grape vines to prevent adverse consequences and make the grape growth healthier. When the new shoots grow to about 28 cm, select strong and healthy plants as the mother plants and remove the remaining branches to ensure quality.
Precautions
After planting grapes, it is essential to do a good job of thinning and setting the seedlings. Grapes grow vigorously, so they require a large amount of water, but also pay attention to the moisture in the orchard.
The above shares a comprehensive introduction to the key points and precautions for grape cultivation, hoping to bring some relevant knowledge about green plants to green plant enthusiasts.
