Methods for Training Grapevines
This article introduces the experience of grapevine training in green plant maintenance, with the following details:
Methods for Training Grapevines
Grapes are one of the common fruits. Farmers who grow grapes know that grapevines require setting up during the planting process. Grapes are vines, and their training methods can have an impact on the yield. During the construction of the trellis, certain precautions should also be taken. So how do grapes grow? What preventive measures are there? Let's take a look.
Trellis Preparation
When planting grapes, we need to consider the trellis. First, we need to prepare construction support materials, such as wooden stakes, bamboo frames, ropes, wire, and some are repaired with cement, while others use steel supports directly. Of course, the most durable are steel materials, and the least expensive are wooden stakes. Considering cost, we usually choose wooden stakes to build the support. The preparation of the trellis is closely related to the topography of the planting site and should be prepared according to different situations.
Installation Timing
There is a timing for building a grape trellis. It should not be too early or too late. Generally, we should wait until the grape seedlings grow to about 30 to 50 centimeters before establishing the support. This period is the fastest growing time for grape seedlings. Moreover, setting up the trellis at this stage is convenient for management, does not easily injure the newly growing grape seedlings, and can promote the growth of lateral branches through topping.
Installation Methods
There are mainly two types of grape trellises, namely the hedge trellis and the pergola. The hedge can be divided into single hedge and double hedge. The single hedge is mainly set up based on the spacing of the grape planting rows and then connected each support with wire, which is more suitable for dense planting. The double hedge is essentially the same as the single hedge, except that each grape has two supports, which can increase the area of the support and effectively utilize space, but it is not convenient for field operations. The trellises are divided into large and small trellises. Generally, the row spacing is greater than or equal to 6 meters, the rear height is 1.5 meters, the front height is 2.5 meters, and the frame length is 10 meters or longer. The small pergola is 2 meters high at the front and 1 meter high at the back.
Precautions
When constructing the support, the first thing to note is that the construction must be sturdy, the stakes should be as deeply connected to the ground as possible, and their stability should be checked. When tying the wires, they should be tied securely and not easily come loose. After the trellis is set up, we need to test it first to ensure that the support is sturdy and will not collapse, then pull the vines onto the trellis. Finally, when pulling the grapevines, we must handle them carefully and do a good job of binding.
The above are the methods and precautions for making grape trellises. The trellis is a very important step in planting grapes, as it will directly affect the yield and quality of the grapes. Farmers who grow grapes can choose the appropriate method to build a trellis according to their actual needs to achieve increased production.
