What are the basic points of grape growing?

SummaryDigging holes and raising seedlings: Before planting, first dig the seedling holes and apply an appropriate amount of fertilizer. Before sowing, the seeds can be pre-germinated, and transplanting can be done around April-May. Timely watering: After planting, water reasonably according to different growth stages and climate conditions. Trellising and guiding vines: Set up the trellis in advance, and once the grapes grow to about 52cm, the vines can be guided. Shaping and pruning: During the vigorous growth period of the grapes, prune reasonably.

1. Digging holes and raising seedlings

1. Grapes are generally grown by raising seedlings and then transplanting. Before planting, first dig the seedling holes, take out the soil, and then apply sufficient farmyard manure. The amount of fertilizer can be determined according to the planting area. After applying the fertilizer, cover it with soil, mix an appropriate amount of compound fertilizer into the soil, and backfill until it is higher than the ground surface.

2. Before sowing, in order to increase the germination rate of the seedlings, the seeds can be pre-germinated. Wrap the seeds in a wet cloth to prevent lack of water. After sowing, management should be strengthened until the seedlings emerge, and transplanting is generally done around April-May.

2. Timely watering

1. After the grape seedlings are planted, management should be strengthened. After planting, water thoroughly and cover with plastic film. In order to prevent water loss and improve the soil's water retention, the opening can be sealed with wet soil.

2. When planting grapes, reasonable close planting should be used, and watering should be done appropriately according to the plant growth stage and soil moisture content. Grapevines need a small amount of water at the seedling stage. When the soil is dry, the amount of watering can be appropriately increased. After the seedlings survive, the frequency of watering can be appropriately increased. In high-temperature summer weather, watering should be done in the morning and evening.

3. Trellising and guiding vines

1. Grapes are a type of vining fruit, so before the grape seedlings enter the vigorous growth period, the trellis should be set up in advance. The trellis must be sturdy and able to withstand strong winds, so as to prevent it from being blown down and causing injury to the plants.

2. When the new grape shoots grow to about 52cm, vine guiding can begin, and fertilizer should be applied at the same time, with good control of the nutrient ratio and amount.

3. After successful vine guiding, water about once every 15 days. This can be done together with cultivating and weeding, which can improve soil permeability, help strengthen the absorption of water and fertilizer, and thus promote rapid growth of the grapes.

4. Shaping and pruning

1. The branches of grapes grow relatively quickly. During the vigorous growth period of the grapes, the growth of the branches needs to be reasonably controlled. Excessively vigorous branches, overly long and dense branches, weak-growing branches, and branches with pests or diseases can be appropriately pruned off.

2. In order to prevent poor fruiting, the bud tips of the main vine of the grape can be pruned off, which is more conducive to the normal growth of the grapes. When the new shoots grow to about 28cm, in order to ensure grape quality, plants with good growth ability and no pests or diseases should be selected as the mother plants, and all other branches should be removed.
