Grapes are divided into two main categories – table and wine. Marketable and agro-technological requirements for each of these categories vary depending on the region of cultivation, traditions and taste preferences. The general trend in viticulture prioritizes production and maximum yield of table varieties unlike the priority of quality over profitability in wine varieties.

Peculiarities
Grapes – although cold-resistant, but light and heat-loving crop, that doesn’t tolerate frost and excess moisture. There is experience of industrial greenhouse cultivation of table grapes in cold regions.
Grapes are a perennial fruit tree that requires a special vineyard laying before transplanting of seedlings. Vineyard plots in open ground are located, as a rule, on slopes with a north-south solar exposure, with large row space so that all plants have enough light.
Grapes like to grow without neighbors, but protective crops are grown around the perimeter to protect the grapes from the wind. After each season, the grapes need trunk mulching and anti-aging pruning. Soils under vineyards should have good drainage. Natural Resources and Science SIA has experience in applying SatoSoil® improvers with humic and fulvic acids in open grounds for table varieties vineyards.
Growing grape rootstocks and choosing the right scions is an activity that requires special attention and care, the longevity and fruiting of the entire vineyard depends on it. Young saplings need special vine-training system and fruit-bearing scapes with trellises. Grapes begin to bear fruit in the third year and yield crops up to almost 30 years. When propagated by cuttings, fruiting can be extended for over 100 years.
Grafted intensive vineyards don’t withstand the entire life cycle and bear fruit up to 8-9 years, and then the orchard is re-planted. When replanting the garden and uprooting the previous trunks and roots, top dressing of the fruitful layer with SatoSoil® pHoenix conditioner is required, which corrects the acidity of the soil and neutralizes nitrates and ammonium salts.
Complex biostimulators SatoGrow®, SatoHum® Potassium soap, macro and micro nutrition SatoHum®, the raw material for which is a peat-sapropel mixture from environmentally friendly sources, effectively protect grapes from pathogens, fight insect pest attacks, gradually release minerals. The compositions of Natural Resources and Science SIA contain useful humates, oxyhumates, humic and fulvic acids, have a healing bactericidal and fungicidal effect, increase looseness and buffering of soils, improve ripening and fruit filling.
Signs of nutrient deficiency in grape
- yellowing and shrinkage of the leaves, twisting and browning of the leaves - lack of nitrogen;
- weak vines, elongated internodes - lack of light and potassium;
- reddening of leaves or purple spots - insufficient photosynthesis, phosphorus starvation;
- yellow edges on leaves, underdeveloped vines - lack of magnesium;
- interveinal chlorosis - magnesium or potassium starvation;
- yellowing of young leaves and shoots from the top - lack of iron, prolonged rains and excess moisture;
- yellowing of young leaves and shoots from the top - lack of iron, prolonged rains and excess moisture;
- lightening of old leaves, dying off of growth points - boron deficiency;
- underdeveloped clusters, weak fruit filling, early leaf fall - lack of calcium.
