Grapes are grown by gardeners everywhere, but in order to get a good harvest in not the hottest regions, to achieve timely aging of the berries, it is necessary to work hard. The excess grape vine is cut off, and the number of covers normal. It is necessary to unload the bush, then all the forces will go to the cultivation of the crop.
Why cut grapes in summer?
With the onset of summer on the grape vines, a lot of arrows are formed, some of them with urging, some are covered with thick foliage, but there are no margins. If you leave all shoots, the bush will be too thickened, the bunches of grapes will not receive a sufficient amount of sunlight, and, accordingly, they will not have time to grow on time. In addition, if too many covers, the harvest will be possible and abundant, but his quality will notice from this. Crasing the grapes, the gardener pursues the goal using the rationing of the vine and the covers to get the optimal amount of high-quality crop.
Summer trim consists in catching up wolf and pinching green shoots for braking the intensity of their growth.
Pruning grapes in summer before the start of flowering
In June, before the start of flowering, the first summer trimming is carried out, which is aimed at the formation of a growing shrub. To do this, the upper part of the young escape is pinned with his fingers or a secateur. The growth of shoots after such a procedure is suspended, and all the forces of the plant are directed to the formation of clouds. On a green fruit vine, there are 2 bunches of grapes, the pinches spend on 2-3 knots above the last grape cluster. On a strong vine, it is allowed to leave a maximum of 3 clusters, but on weak - only one.
Grapes grows very quickly, so the bush is viewed once in 10-14 days and, if necessary, re-conduct the incident procedure.
Grape trim in summer after flowering
The most appropriate time to remove steppes - July, focus on completing flowering. Steyoka is a side escape on the vine that grows from the kidney of replacement in the axle of the sheet.
Too thugged bush will give a poor-quality harvest. In addition, the abundance of foliage creates favorable conditions for the development of various fungal diseases of the shrub, such as Oidium, Mildew, which are striking both the leaves and the fruits of grapes.
There are 2 ways to remove steppes - catching at the base and trimming of escape immediately after the first sheet. Glavory varieties of grades shackle completely. For gravity varieties, such a way is less convenient, since after removing escape in the axle, the sleeping kidney is quickly waking fairly quickly and stepper is formed from it. Trimming after the first sheet slows down the growth of escape, and the new stepper will grow later.
Control over steppes is carried out to the end of the growing season of the plant.
Lightening grapes
The abundance of greenery at the aging stage prevents the ventilation of the bush and getting sunlight on the bunches. It is recommended to remove part of the foliage of the anticipation of the anticipation brushes. Remove the leaves located on the same node on which the grape cluster is located. It is not worth too much, since too small amounts of foliage will not be enough for photosynthesis, it will slow down the aging of the harvest.
At the same time, clusters thinned. Weak clusters are immediately visible, they are developing slower, the berries on them are smaller. Such a cluster is better to remove, it will give the shrub to spend more resources for the remaining.
With proper care, grapes pleases the gardener with annual abundant crops. In the southern regions, summer is long, and the grapes have time to grow even without trimming. In the middle strip, summer is much shorter, and summer trimming is a necessary condition for obtaining a crop.
