The table grape "Brilliant" is derived from the varieties "Victoria" and "Original". It has an amazing taste, ripens early and tolerates storage and transportation well.
The grapes are planted in sunny areas. The most suitable regions for growing this variety are the central and southern parts of Russia.
Soil preparation is a mixing of sand, humus and compost. Moreover, the proportion of sand is 50%. You can plant grapes in the spring and summer, the exact time depends on the climate of the region. It is desirable that the planting be made from the south side of the house, near buildings or other plants. The distance between the seedlings should be at least 80 cm. If it is possible to establish the level of groundwater, then when the water is at a depth of less than 2 meters, drainage is installed.
Watering and feeding the seedlings is mandatory. When blooming, it is not recommended to pinch the tops. Table varieties require a sufficient amount of leaves.
There are a number of problems that can be encountered when growing this variety.
- To ensure higher yields, it is necessary to remove unnecessary bunches in time.
- You cannot completely replace root dressing with foliar. The foliar is only a complement to the root during flowering.
- When pruning on a young vine, leave 2 - 3 buds. It is not worth pruning grapes by making a decorative fence or shed from it. There are many other varieties for this. Biological products should not be overused, especially if the grapes grow in greenhouses.
- In autumn, nutrients from the leaves pass into the roots, so pruning is done in early spring. When sheltering from frost for the winter, be sure to provide sufficient air access.
- Carry out mulching only on warm soil, approximately in the first half of June.
The ripening time of "Brilliant" grapes does not exceed 100 days. The berries, although medium in size, are distinguished by the rapidity of development. To reduce the risk of freezing, a polyethylene cover is required. The use of fertilizers has a positive effect on the yield. Watering is carried out mainly by drip. By following these simple rules, you can achieve excellent yields.
