Viticulture requires knowledge and a lot of effort, because these plants are more susceptible to various diseases than others. A huge assortment of varieties is offered to winegrowers, but the number of fruits depends on the correct choice of varieties.

Factors that reduce the yield

The vineyard has to justify the investment by producing large yields. Everyone wants to grow an environmentally friendly, disease-resistant, healthy and tasty product. But in reality this is not always feasible. Most often, grapes do not meet expectations for the following reasons:

  • Incorrectly selected variety. When buying grapes, you need to focus on the climate in the planting region. Before buying seedlings, you need to study the features of the varieties you like.
  • When buying new varieties, they are placed in a common vineyard. It is advisable to plant new seedlings separately from other plants to eliminate the risk of infection with diseases.
  • Planting varieties that love warmth in cold climates. In order for the plant to bear fruit in this case, it must be resistant to frost. Growing in a greenhouse can be another advantageous solution.

By avoiding the most common mistakes, gardeners get the maximum yield.

Note! The unpretentiousness of the variety in the content does not mean that you do not need to care for the vine!

Vineyard

In practice, when buying a resistant grape variety, some believe that it is not afraid of infection and other problems. This opinion is wrong. In reality, such a characteristic in the description of a variety only means that with proper cultivation, planting and maintenance at a high level, the plant has immunity. The likelihood that the plant will be hit by a pest is reduced, but not completely excluded.
