The Latest Summer Black Grape Planting Techniques and Methods Tutorial
Summer Black grape is a derivative of the Kyoho grape. Compared with the Kyoho grape, the Summer Black grape ripens earlier, has no seeds and has an extremely high sugar content. Its flesh is firm and taut, and it is welcomed by many people, so there is now some planting area in our country, with good economic benefits. So how should Summer Black grapes be planted? Today, the editor brings you the planting techniques for Summer Black grapes. Let's take a look below!
1. Seed and Soil Selection
Summer Black grapes have a great many varieties. When selecting seeds, we should choose suitable varieties according to factors such as the local weather conditions. After choosing the varieties, we should select soil with convenient transportation, sufficient water sources, deep soil layers and good drainage and irrigation for planting. Then, in the autumn of the year before planting, do the land preparation work well, break up and level the soil finely, and improve the soil's permeability. Then apply sufficient base fertilizer, deep plough the soil once, and mix the fertilizer and soil thoroughly. Finally, control the planting density well, dig the planting trenches, and prepare for planting.
2. Young Tree Management
After planting, do the management work for young trees well. When the young trees grow their eighth true leaf, do the topdressing work well, applying fertilizer about once every half month. In the early stage, fertilization is mainly nitrogen fertilizer, and then during August to September, change the fertilizer to phosphorus and potassium fertilizer. After planting, do the trellising work well, set up supports beside the seedlings, and stretch several wires through the supports. When the new shoots grow to about 55 cm, do the vine-tying work well. Finally, during the young tree stage, also pay attention to the prevention and control of pests and diseases, regularly spray the plants for disinfection, and improve the growth capacity of Summer Black grapes.
3. Shaping and Pruning
About half a month after all the leaves have fallen in winter, carry out a winter pruning. The main pruning targets are the fruiting branches of the current year, keeping 3 buds and cutting them back short, and thinning out excess branches. When pruning, prune inward to prevent the fruiting parts from growing outward. Then cut off undesirable branches such as those that are too long, too dense, or affected by pests and diseases, to improve the cold resistance of the Summer Black grape plants and help them overwinter. Then in summer, also do various tasks such as bud removal, pinching and vine tying well, to improve permeability, promote the growth of Summer Black grapes, and increase yield.
4. Flower and Fruit Management
Summer Black grapes have relatively strong growth capacity, and generally new shoots will have more than two flower clusters. When planting, in order to increase yield and grape quality, it is enough to keep one flower cluster per new shoot. Excess flower clusters should be thinned out. If there are too many flower clusters, nutrient consumption will be large and the fruit-setting rate will be high, which will instead affect yield. So we should promptly thin out flower clusters that grow too weakly or poorly. Then, according to tree vigor and fruit load, do the fruit thinning work well, to prevent exceeding the tree's bearing range and affecting the growth of Summer Black grapes.
The above is a brief introduction to Summer Black grape planting techniques. Summer Black grapes are relatively easy to plant. However, we still need to do the management work well and strengthen management in all aspects to ensure yield. That is all for today's introduction. This article is for reference only.
