How to plant grapes effectively? Simple grape cultivation techniques and methods

When planting grape vines, you must choose the right time and plant them in sunny areas with slightly higher terrain. When planting, control the row spacing and plant spacing to enhance ventilation. Pay attention to the management of water and fertilizer. The frequency of watering should not be too high to avoid increasing the number of diseases in the garden. Reasonable fertilization should increase the proportion of phosphorus and potassium fertilizers.

Grape growing methods

1. Planting time

Generally, grape vines are planted in spring and autumn, with the specific planting time being March-April, and sometimes in September-October. The temperature and humidity in these two time periods are more suitable, and the seedlings can take root faster after planting, with a higher survival rate.

2. Soil selection

Grapevines do not have high requirements for soil, but in order for them to grow and develop normally, it is best to choose sandy loam or light loam that is loose, fertile, well-drained, slightly acidic to slightly alkaline, and they should also be planted in a high and sunny area.

3. Planting

When planting grape vines, choose grafted seedlings with more roots and complete root systems, and adopt a planting density of 6 meters in row and 1.5 meters in plant. This can improve ventilation and light intensity, which is helpful for the growth of seedlings.

4. Maintenance

After planting, grape seedlings can be covered with ground film. Dark-colored ground film can absorb sunlight, increase ground temperature, and accelerate the growth of seedlings. It is best to disinfect grape seedlings before planting.

Grape planting tips

1. Water and fertilizer management

  When watering the grape vines, you can use flood irrigation with a small stream of water to avoid heavy water erosion. Dig holes around the roots and apply fertilizer. You can use human manure or urea. Apply thin fertilizers frequently. Water the plants after each fertilization to promote the plant's absorption of nutrients.

2. Scaffolding

  The trellis must be erected before the grapes enter the growing season. The trellis must be sturdy and able to withstand strong winds. A support should be erected at equal intervals along the rows. The height of the support should be between 1-2 meters. The surface of the trellis should be perpendicular to the ground. When the new shoots grow to 50 cm, the vines can be guided onto the trellis.
