How to water grapes and what precautions should be taken
The editor introduces you to the watering methods of grapes and the precautions in the aspect of green plants and flowers. Let's take a look together!
How to water grapes and what precautions should be taken
Under normal conditions in areas with good irrigation or moisture retention, the soil moisture is sufficient. If the rainfall is insufficient, the soil has poor water retention, or excessive fertilization is applied, it is necessary to water. Appropriate soil moisture during the berry maturation period results in better fruit development, higher yield, and higher sugar content. If the moisture is excessive, the berries can still mature well, but the sugar content will decrease, aroma will diminish, fruits may crack, and they will not be suitable for storage.
Yesterday, it was drizzling here, and today it is already sunny with good sunlight. The new buds of grapes are growing relatively fast. In the last issue, we mentioned the first three points of grape watering management. To achieve high yield and quality grapes, watering is also crucial. Today, let's talk about the last three points.
1. Berry coloring
When the berries start to color, it is the second growth peak period of the berries. At this time, the berries grow extremely fast, sugar begins to accumulate inside the berries, the new shoots thicken and start to lignify, and the inflorescence develops rapidly. Supplying appropriate fertilizer and water during this period can not only improve the yield and quality of the current year but also have a good effect on the yield of the following year.
2. Berry maturation period

If rainfall is insufficient, the soil has poor water retention, or excessive fertilization is applied, it is necessary to water. Appropriate soil moisture during the berry maturation period results in better fruit development, higher yield, and higher sugar content. If the moisture is excessive, the berries can still mature well, but the sugar content will decrease, aroma will diminish, fruits may crack, and they will not be suitable for storage.
3. When grapes are buried in the soil for frost protection
If the soil is dry, it is not convenient to bury the soil. It is necessary to water a small amount before burying the head. In the dry northern regions during winter, there is a habit of watering to seal the frozen soil. In winter, it is best to water the grapevines a little. The soil should be crumbly when held in the hand and can scatter when placed on the ground. This soil is suitable, and it is not necessary to water too much, especially when burying trees in winter.
The above knowledge about how to water grapes and what precautions should be taken is hoped to bring you some help after reading this article!
