How to part grapes with shanks

For reproduction of grapes the shanks cut from the one-year ripened escapes not less than 7 mm thick. Cutting is done in the fall, and in the winter shanks store in the basement in damp sand or leave on the site, having laid in the dug-out trench.

Instruction

1. In the spring shanks of grapes need to be placed in water and to leave in it for three days at temperature near +15os. One of the main conditions of rooting is correctly executed kilchevaniye — warming up of the lower part of shank at +25os. This process stimulates formation of roots, however the upper part of plant has to be in cool conditions that kidneys have not begun to be dismissed. As a rule, the kilchevaniye lasts about two weeks.

2. Previously, in the spring or in the fall, dig over the soil, bring in it manure or compost, use one bucket on 1 sq.m. The soil layer has to be deep, and its pH - 6.5-7.0. If there is probability of glut of soil moisture, it is necessary to create drainage. It is possible to remove excessive acidity lime introduction (200 g on 1 sq.m). At first do trench by depth and about 40 cm wide, in it introduce organic fertilizers, and then mix them with the earth.

3. Start kilchevaniye of shanks of grapes in March or April, in two weeks land them in soil according to scheme 20x10 or 15x15 see Shanks put obliquely, powder with the earth, condense and water with warm water. Then they are covered with film, and from above fill 4-5 cm of the earth.

4. Yet the root system will not be created, it is regularly necessary to water and sprinkle shanks not less once a week, also they need to be aired. The film is removed when constant warm weather is established.

5. Care for the taken root shanks of grapes includes loosening of row-spacings, weeding and regular watering, in the second half of summer it needs to be stopped. Introduce nitrogen and phosphoric fertilizers in the spring, and in the summer — potash and phosphoric.

6. In the spring grapes are replaced to the constant place, at the same time choose plant with well created lower part of escape. The site has to be solar, warm and reliably covered from wind. It is the best of all to choose the slope turned on the South or the southwest. Grapes grades with black fruits demand more heat, than with light.

7. Young saplings require from 4 to 8 waterings during the season, they are done at the roots. The norm is 2-7 buckets, and the last watering needs to be made no later than the middle of July. Before the shelter for the winter the saplings also water. The first 4 years in fertilizing are not present need, later in the early spring around plant dig out grooves of 35 cm in depth, in them stack mix of superphosphate, potash fertilizers and compost then cover with earth.
