Frost-resistant technical grape varieties: a list of the best for the south of Russia and resistant to diseases and pests

When breeding grapes, it is necessary to adhere to many nuances, because this plant is capricious. One of the main requirements is to provide a reliable shelter in the winter. This creates a number of inconveniences, especially if the grapes grow in the country, and not in a nearby area. In this case, preference should be given to unpretentious frost-resistant grape varieties, the cultivation of which extends to different climatic zones. An overview of the best frost-resistant grapes, as well as the nuances of caring for them, are discussed in our article.

Benefits of frost-resistant species

The most important plus of the frost resistance of this plant is that there is no need to create a shelter for it for the winter. At the same time, you can choose table and dessert, dark and light varieties.

If you properly care for the bush at a young age, then, having strengthened, it will be strong enough to withstand frosts down to -33 ° C. Gradual hardening will benefit the plant. To do this, it is enough to annually reduce the period of being in the shelter of the bush.

Sun berries

For your information! In the fall, the bush should be covered a little later than last year, and in the spring it should be opened a little earlier.

The concept of frost resistance of a grape variety

In reference books on viticulture, the definition of the frost resistance of the variety is given. Frost resistance of grapes is the ability of its vegetative system in winter to withstand for a short time a drop in temperature to the values ​​specified in the characteristics of the variety, without damage or with minimal damage to the eyes of one-year-old shoot. In short, this is the resistance of the variety to critical negative temperatures. This means that at a certain low temperature those parts of the plant that further determine the fruiting and yield of the crop do not die. With a sharp drop in air temperature in winter, the buds (eyes) of the vine first freeze out, then the bark and cambium of the plant's wood are damaged. This applies primarily to young seedlings of one and two years of age. Such a characteristic as frost resistance is determined for each grape variety empirically. The degree of frost resistance is derived on the basis of the results of long-term observations of the development of plants under the conditions of the experimental station. This indicator is the nominal (standard) value. In real conditions, sometimes significantly different from favorable ones, the frost resistance of grapes turns out to be lower than the declared one.

Table: grouping of grape varieties according to the degree of frost resistance

At critical low temperatures, freezing of up to 50% of fruit buds (eyes) is possible. A further decrease in temperature increases this figure to 80%. Frost damage to annual seedlings, in which not only generative buds freeze, but also wood, causes the death of the entire bush. The index of frost resistance of the variety is of fundamental importance when growing grapes in a non-covering culture. As a rule, these are high-standard formations in the form of altans, high hedges, arches and gazebos, where the sleeves of grapes are not removed from the supports, but hibernate in the open.

In contrast to frost resistance (resistance of fruit plants to critical negative temperatures), winter hardiness characterizes their resistance to the sum of unfavorable factors (including low temperatures) in winter. As a rule, most of the fruit crops exhibiting high frost resistance are at the same time highly frost resistant.

Early frost-resistant varieties

In total, there are more than 50 frost-resistant grape varieties. Every year, breeders breed new species that can survive in difficult climatic conditions. But many lovers of these berries have long identified their favorites and continue to improve their quality characteristics.

Transformation

Delicious and sweet pink grapes, its elongated berries can reach a weight of 15 g. Their taste is classic, without additional extraneous aromas. Withstands frosts down to -21 ° С.

Rylines Pink Seedlis

Of all the varieties described in this article, Rylines Pink Seedlis differs in that it lacks seeds. The berries are in the shape of a ball, small, pink with strawberry aroma. The bunches are compact. Harvesting is in mid-September.

Growing features

Growing frost-resistant grapes has the following features:

• The vine of culture does not require shelter. Even if tissue is damaged, cultures are independently restored or replaced by young shoots.
• In order for the plant to produce a crop, it is necessary to prune and rejuvenate the bush in the spring.
• The plant requires frequent watering.
• During the ripening of the bunches, it is necessary to add additional nutrients, since everything goes to the development of berries.

In the first three years after planting the seedling, shelter is mandatory. In the next period, the shelter of the vine is not used.

Rules for caring for uncovered grapes

All frost-resistant grape varieties that do not provide shelter for the winter require proper care. In addition to timely harvesting and autumn-spring pruning of the bush, it is recommended:

1. Make a special design for branch development and support. Metal pipes are dug in near the row and the wire is fixed on them. For vertical gardening, bush stems are tied up at different heights.
2. Combine feeding and watering procedures without using chemical fertilizers. Chicken droppings diluted with water in proportions of 1:10 will be optimal for frost-resistant vines. Half a bucket is added to 1 square meter.
3. Fertilize in stages. The first time the vine is fed at the growth stage of 15 cm, the second - after the formation of the ovary. The last stage of feeding is carried out when the berries have already gained color.
4. Timely pruning. At the beginning of spring, weak branches are removed and healthy ones are rejuvenated. From the extreme point of the branch, you need to count 3 buds and cut the plant at a right angle. The procedure is relevant during the formation of overgrowth in the summer. They work with a pruner, knife or hacksaw.

In order for the grower's actions to bring results - good yields, it is important to correctly and consistently carry out care measures. In the first years of development, almost all frost-resistant grape varieties do not show winter hardiness characteristics. For 1-2 years, the summer resident will need to organize a traditional shelter. In the 3rd year of development, a test branch is left and, according to its condition, the type of wintering is determined.

Pest and disease control

Frost-resistant grape varieties are immune to pests and diseases, but improper care can cause the vine to become infected. And if the treatment is not started in a timely manner, then you can lose not only the crop, but also the plant itself.

The main task in the fight against diseases of frost-resistant grapes is their prevention.

There are two main types of grape diseases:

• infectious - they are caused by specific fungi, viruses or bacteria that are carried by the wind, working tools. The most harmful and dangerous among them are anthracnose, mildew, oidium, bacterial cancer, gray rot. They are easier to prevent, so it is important not to miss the first symptoms and take timely action. To do this, in the spring, 1-2 times the plant is treated with fungicides of a wide spectrum of action;
• non-infectious - caused by unfavorable weather conditions (strong wind, sharp cold snap, early frosts, prolonged rains). Such diseases are prevented by correct agrotechnical measures and careful care.

Natural enemies of grapes are beetles, larvae, wasps, beetles, bears, cicadas. They damage vines, buds, berries, leaves. These processes inhibit the development of the plant and reduce the volume of the crop. Methods of combating them include mechanical soil cultivation, weed control, manual collection of pests, and timely spraying with chemicals.

Highly resistant non-covering hybrids

Varieties that are intended for cultivation in regions with cold weather conditions. The advantage of these crops is that they do not need to be covered. Exposure to low temperatures does not affect their yield.
