Does Grapes Prefer Sunlight or Shade?
The editor introduces whether grapes prefer sunlight or shade and the green plant and flower introduction for the growth environment requirements of grapes. Detailed content will be shared next.
The environment required for grape growth mainly includes temperature, light, and water and fertilizer. Grapes require different temperatures at different growth stages. The temperature for grapes to start sprouting is between 10-12 degrees, and the temperature during the growth period should not exceed 35 degrees, and it should not be lower than 10 degrees, otherwise growth will be limited. Grapes need plenty of sunlight during the growth process, and pruning the grape trellis can increase sunlight exposure. While ensuring sufficient water, there should be no waterlogging, as it can easily cause root rot. Let's take a detailed look at aspects such as temperature, light, and water and fertilizer next.
1. Temperature
Only when the temperature is between 10-12 degrees do grapes start to germinate, with 25-30 degrees being the most suitable for grape growth. It should not exceed 35 degrees, and if it is lower than 10 degrees, the new shoots will be limited in growth, and if it is lower than 14 degrees, pollination and fertilization will not be able to proceed normally. During the ripening period of the berries, the temperature should be controlled between 28-32 degrees to avoid being too low or too high.
2. Light
Sufficient light can maintain the normal growth of branches, leaves, and fruits, which is beneficial for increasing the products of photosynthesis and reducing the phenomenon of falling flowers and fruits. There are often many branches and leaves on the grape trellis that block sunlight, so it is necessary to prune the excess branches and weaker vines to increase light transmission and improve ventilation.
3. Water and Fertilizer
Sufficient water can maintain the nutritional supply of the grapevine trunk and branches. Watering can be done every 7-10 days during the growing period, with the soil penetration reaching 70% of the water volume. During the berry period, soil moisture penetration should be at 60%, to prevent waterlogging. Accumulation of water that cannot be penetrate should be drained in a timely manner. Before flowering, nitrogen fertilizer and a small amount of phosphorus and potassium fertilizers can be applied. During the ripening period of the berries, phosphorus and potassium fertilizers should be mainly applied.
The above is a comprehensive method explanation on whether grapes prefer sunlight or shade and the growth environment requirements of grapes, hoping to solve your problems with green plants.
