3. What are the cultivation methods for grapes?

1. Site selection and land preparation: What kind of land is suitable for planting?

Grapes like to grow in places with loose, fertile soil, good drainage and sufficient sunlight, so when selecting a site, try to choose garden land, hills or plains that are convenient for irrigation. After selecting the land, deeply plow the soil and dig a field bed with pits 80 cm wide and 80 cm deep, with a plant spacing of 1 m and a row spacing of 3 m, then apply 5000 kg of farmyard manure, pig manure and other fertilizers per mu into the pits and field beds to facilitate later planting.

2. Seedling planting: How to plant?

(1) Planting time: Early to late February.

(2) Planting method: Straighten out the root system of the seedlings, plant them into the pits, slowly cover with soil, then pour in a small amount of water. After the water is absorbed, cover with soil again until the trunk is stable.

(3) Planting density: About 220 seedlings per mu.

3. Field management techniques: How to manage?

(1) Fertilizer requirements: Grapes do not have high fertilizer requirements. Generally, it is enough to apply sufficient farmyard manure from late October to early November. When new shoots grow to 20 cm, apply an appropriate amount of urea or human manure. In the later period, apply farmyard manure once every half month until early August, then add an appropriate amount of phosphorus fertilizer and potassium fertilizer.

(2) Water requirements: Grapes do not have high water requirements. Generally, it is enough to keep the soil moist, so water more in summer, and drain promptly during the plum rain season to avoid water accumulation causing root mildew.

(3) Thinning and replanting: After the seedlings have been planted for a period of time, always pay attention to their growth. Dead seedlings, short seedlings or already dead seedlings should be removed promptly, and replanting should be done in a timely manner according to the actual situation to ensure that all seedlings in the orchard grow synchronously.

(4) Pest and disease control: During the growth period of grapes, factors such as temperature, water and fertilizer can cause pests and diseases such as white rot, downy mildew, black rot and cabbage caterpillar, so prevention and control measures should be taken in advance. For those already affected by pests and diseases, fungicides, omethoate and other agents can be used for control.

4. Harvesting and packaging: When to harvest?

Grapes are harvested in batches. As much as possible, harvest each cluster as it ripens. When harvesting, give priority to harvesting fruits with large berries and large clusters, hold the fruit stalk with your left hand, hold scissors with your right hand, cut off the fruit stalk and put it into a basket. Note here that harvesting should be done on a sunny day without dew as much as possible, so as to avoid water causing the grapes to change flavor.
