How to Plant Grapevines? Detailed Planting Methods and Key Technical Points

Grape is one of the world's ancient fruit tree species. It originated in western Asia and is cultivated all over the world, with 95% of it concentrated in the Northern Hemisphere. How do you plant grapevines so the fruit they produce tastes good?

1. Choosing Grapevines

The quality of the grapevine directly affects the grape's fruit-setting rate, so choose a grapevine with a well-developed and intact root system, no pest or disease damage, and plump buds.

2. Treating the Grapevine

A pruned grapevine seedling should keep more than 3 plump buds and retain about 15 cm of roots. After pruning, soak the seedling in clean water for about half a day so the grapevine absorbs water fully. Before planting the grapevine, carry out disinfection to prevent the effects of pests and diseases.

3. Covering with Plastic Mulch

During planting, use black plastic mulch to cover the greenhouse. The main purposes are to ensure ground temperature, maintain soil moisture, reduce weed growth, and increase the grape's growth rate. After planting, check promptly whether the seedlings have survived, and cover them with fine soil.

4. Fertilizer and Water Management

Generally, once 7-8 new leaves have grown and tendrils have appeared, you can begin topdressing. In the early stage, mainly provide nitrogen fertilizer to promote the growth of the grapevine and help the plant take shape. Do not make the fertilizer concentration too strong, as it will damage the roots. After fertilizing, water promptly. In the later stage of growth, control excessive vigor, stop applying nitrogen fertilizer, and apply an appropriate amount of potassium fertilizer and phosphorus fertilizer.

Grape is a famous fruit, eaten fresh or made into raisins, and its roots and vines are used medicinally to stop vomiting and calm the fetus. It can also be used for winemaking. Wine is very famous all over the world and is deeply loved by consumers.
