Features of the Carnival variety

Carnival refers to the early forms of grapes, berries ripening occurs in 105 - 110 days, from the beginning of the growing season. The crop can be harvested in early - mid August, depending on the climatic zone where the vine is planted.

The ripe fruits of the Carnival are bright red in color, they are distinguished by an elongated, often cylindrical shape with a sling in the middle. The length of the berry can reach up to 4 centimeters in length, the weight ranges from 10 to 13 grams. Fruits on clusters are located in close proximity, but do not crush each other.

Carnival berries have a pleasant dessert taste; they can remain on the bush for a long time without losing their taste and visual qualities. Note that the skin of the fruit is not prone to cracking.

Advantages and disadvantages

Of course, the main advantage of this form of grapes, as noted above, is its very early ripening. There are also other benefits that allow winegrowers to turn their attention to the Diamond.

• Attractive berry appearance and atypical taste;
• High resistance to disease;
• Endurance for transportation.

Among the shortcomings, only the relative youth of the hybrid can be noted, which does not allow giving stable recommendations for its cultivation. Some growers also note the insufficient sugar content of berries and small clusters.

Planting grapes Carnival

The variety has not yet become widespread, but its seedlings are already being sold online, they can be purchased directly from large nurseries and garden centers.

Like most grape varieties, Carnival does not like groundwater - take this into account when choosing a site. The second prerequisite is good heating of the beds, moreover, the bushes must be planted 4 - 5 meters from the nearest fruit trees.

For planting, a standard pit is formed, up to 1 meter deep and up to 80 centimeters in diameter with waterproofing at the bottom (a layer of expanded clay, pebbles or crushed stone, up to 10 cm thick). Next, we lay the previously prepared soil, adding fertilizers (superphosphate) to it.

Planting of grapes is carried out in the spring, when the earth is well warmed up (10-120C).

Everything about the grape variety "valok" from the peculiarities of cultivation to photos and reviews about it

One of the promising varieties with a minimum of care requirements is the valok grape. And if you remember about its taste and the gigantic size of the brushes, then we can say with confidence: this is not a grape, this is a real dream.

Pros and cons

Pros:

• Original taste.
• Large size of brushes.
• High productivity.
• Early ripening.
• Self-pollination.
• Resistant to fungal infections.
• Frost resistance.

Minuses:

• Weak rootstock-scion compatibility.
• The need for rationing the harvest.
• The presence of a bone.
• Affected by wasps.

Origin

"Valek" is the result of crossing three varieties: "Kesha 1", "Star" and "Rizamat". This event was held by a breeder from Ukraine N.P. Vishnevetsky. The new hybrid form was named "roll" and incorporated all the best qualities of its "family". Initially, it was assumed that the variety would be cultivated in the north of Ukraine, but over time it also moved to regions located much to the north.

Parents of "Valek" - "Kesha 1", "Star" and "Rizamat"

Main characteristics

Valyok is a vigorous early variety with huge clusters and excellent pear flavor.

Ripening period

Valyok is an early variety. From the moment the buds wake up and until the harvest, about 105 - 115 days pass. The first brushes can be removed from the bush in young regions already in the first decade of August.

Bush

The bushes of this variety are vigorous. The leaves are green and pubescent on the underside. The flowers are bisexual; the duration of their flowering is about 10 days.

Bunches and berries

The main advantage of the hybrid is huge brushes weighing 1.5-2.5 kg, in which the berries are tightly adjacent to each other.

Oval, dense and fleshy berries weigh about 3-4 grams, and their length and width can reach 3 centimeters. The degree of ripening of the grapes is noticeable on the skin: initially the fruits are greenish-yellow in color, but when fully ripe, their surface begins to fill with amber and "brown". The juicy pulp usually contains 2 to 3 seeds. The berries are moderately sweet (17 - 29%) with an acidity of 5 - 6 g / l.

Taste and yield

The taste of the berries of this variety cannot be confused with anything: they resemble a pear with a light nutmeg aroma. A three-year-old plant is capable of producing 20 - 22 kg of fruits, but with age, the yield of "roll" only increases: already from a five-year-old bush, up to 35 - 40 kg of berries can be removed.

Comparison with analogues

Valek looks good against the background of other early white grapes. More about this - in the table below:

Useful properties and application

The calorie indicators of the variety are pleasing - only 45 kcal per 100 grams of product. However, you should not abuse grapes: a large amount of eaten berries can provoke bloating, exacerbation of peptic ulcer and kidney problems, and a jump in blood sugar.

Regular eating of berries can be recommended to everyone who strives to strengthen their immunity, improve the functioning of the nervous system, increase the level of hemoglobin, improve the condition of the skin, and strengthen the walls of blood vessels.

Its main purpose is fresh consumption. You can also cook jam, compotes from berries, add to desserts and pastries. Thanks to their dense consistency and strong peel, they can be pickled and soaked, preparing excellent snacks for the winter.

Growing features

"Valyok" is a fairly resistant variety to both diseases and frost, but it is not stored much and quickly deteriorates.

Landing

The most suitable time for planting a variety is autumn, a month before the onset of frost. The winegrower will definitely need to take care of the insulation of the young and delicate plant.Spring planting of seedlings is also allowed, but only if the air and soil are sufficiently warmed up (+ 15 ° C and + 10 ° C, respectively). Vaccination is carried out only in early spring, but reproduction by branches is best done in summer.

Place and soil

The ideal place for planting a seedling is a well-lit area, protected from drafts and cold winds. It is better if it is an elevation or a small mound: this will make it possible for excess moisture to drain off safely, without provoking putrefactive processes in the roots. "Valyok" is unpretentious in relation to the type of soil, but it will not be able to develop normally on saline, waterlogged and highly acidic soils, black soil, loam and sandy loam are ideal. A variant of clay and stony soil is possible, but first it must be enriched with organic matter.

If it is assumed that future vines will trail along a support in the form of a wall of a house or structure, then it is necessary to retreat 1.5 - 2 meters from them to dig a hole. If tall trees grow nearby, then the distance from them should be even more: 3-5 meters, depending on the height of the plants.

The recommended distance between adjacent bushes is 3 meters, between rows - 4 meters. The planting hole should be 80 cm deep, and the diameter should be the same. Shape - square or round. Its bottom should be covered with drainage by 20 cm, and the next layer should be a nutrient mixture (soil, humus or compost, mineral fertilizers). It is necessary to fill the entire hole with it, leaving 40 - 50 centimeters for planting a seedling. The plant itself is crushed with ordinary soil from the site.

Watering and fertilizing

The variety does not require constant watering. During the season, it is enough to water it only 3 times: before flowering, during the ovary of berries and in late autumn. If the summer is dry for a long time, then unscheduled watering can be carried out. The recommended amount of added water is 2 buckets for each bush. Be sure to loosen the top layer of soil after "water procedures", remove all weeds, and then pour a layer of mulch from peat or sawdust.

Top dressing should be added three times a season. In early spring you need to add organic matter: 1 sq. M. 6 - 8 kg of manure or 100 g of wood ash. The next top dressing is carried out before flowering, the soil is enriched with mineral fertilizers: nitrogen, phosphorus and potassium are mixed in a ratio of 3: 2: 1, respectively, after which 30 g of the mixture is diluted in a bucket of water, 1 - 2 buckets of solution are poured under each bush. Once again, the bushes are fed with mineral fertilizers during the period of the initial formation of berries. For these purposes, 60–70 g of superphosphate and 20–25 g of potassium sulfate are dissolved in a bucket of water.

Pruning

After planting a young seedling, no pruning is performed during the first year, but on adult bushes, an annual two-time procedure of this kind cannot be avoided. In the spring, the dry parts affected by the disease are removed, and in the fall, 2 weeks after the harvest, the formation of the bush. The number of eyes removed from the shoot depends directly on its diameter: if it is 5 mm, then you need to cut off 5 eyes, 7 mm - 7.8 eyes, 10 mm - 11 - 13 pieces.

The variety also requires pinching the upper part of the shoots even before the inflorescences appear, as well as removing the stepsons and thinning the foliage. Such a measure makes it possible for the shoots to gain additional strength before the harvest ripens, to stock up on useful elements and water.

Diseases and pests

The variety could be called ideal in terms of resistance to diseases and attacks of pests, if not for the constant desire of wasps to feast on sweet grapes. The way out of this situation is special bags for bunches, sweet baits with poison, placed along the perimeter of the vineyard, destruction of hornets' nests.

Although "Valyok" is characterized by increased immunity to mildew, powdery mildew, gray rot, it is still better not to put the grapes at risk and treat it three times a season with fungicides.In order to avoid fungal infections, it is also necessary to monitor the outflow of excess moisture from the roots of the plant, systematically remove weeds, and apply fertilizers in a timely manner.

Wintering

The variety is considered frost-resistant, as it can tolerate temperatures down to -24 ° C without damage. However, it is not always possible to accurately predict the weather of the coming winter. If it turns out to be of little snow and with prolonged severe frosts, then the bush may die. In order to avoid such a nuisance, it is advisable to carry out warming of grapes in northern latitudes and regions with a temperate climate. To do this, you just need to cover the woody part of the shrub with mulch for the winter, cover it with sawdust or cover it with spruce branches.

Harvest storage

The variety can be sent for storage, but, like most early varieties, "Valek" will not be able to "lie" for a long time: 1 - 2 months, provided that the temperature regime and air humidity indicators are observed.

Regions

The geography of the “Valek” variety zoning includes southern latitudes, as well as the central part of Russia, Ukraine, Belarus. You can grow this variety in more northern regions, including the Moscow region and the Leningrad region, the Urals and Siberia.

Diseases and pests

This variety has not been studied enough, but already now we can talk about some of its features. Given that the skin of berries never cracks, it is not popular with wasps, so you do not have to fight these insects. Unlike many varieties, the Carnival is not exposed to the invasion of birds.

As for other diseases, it is already clear that the form shows good resistance to mildew and powdery mildew, although it requires two or three times the fungicide treatment. The first spraying must be done at the moment the buds appear on the vine, then the treatment is carried out shortly before the beginning of flowering of the grapes. If necessary, spraying with a fungicide is also carried out after the berries have been tied.

Carnival, like most other forms, is susceptible to the invasion of harmful insects. We recommend that you regularly check the plants for infestation by ticks, thrips, aphids, and other pests. When signs of damage appear, it is recommended to treat the vine with insecticides and acaricides. Remember to also take preventive measures to keep pests out of your area.

Description of characteristics

Ripening period very early or very early, one of the first to ripen in the vineyard. From the beginning of budding to full maturity, it takes 90-100 days. In the conditions of the south of the Zaporozhye region, it is completely ready at the end of July.

Bunches large, cylindrical-conical, medium density or loose. Individual hands can be over one kilogram.

Berry large, oval or round, weighing 10-14 grams, fleshy flesh with a crunch. The nutmeg is not pronounced on the palate, but it is felt immediately. The color of berries when ripe is from raspberry red to burgundy.

It pulls the load well with the harvest, while not shifting the ripening time, as we see in many other forms. For several years of cultivation, no cracking of berries was observed.

Bushes very vigorous vines with good maturation. Resistance is also high, which makes it possible to grow when formed on gazebos and arches.

Grape care

The variety has a high yield and shows good resistance to pests and diseases. At the same time, the vine must be constantly looked after:

• The main pruning of grapes is carried out in late autumn, before the onset of frost (at temperatures up to -30C).At this time, most of the branches are removed, usually the growers leave 4 - 5 of the strongest and healthiest shoots;
• Additional pruning is carried out in the spring, after removing the vines from the grapes. During this period, frozen and diseased shoots are cut off;
• It is recommended to carry out pruning throughout the season - removing malformed shoots;
• Regularly clean the ground around the plant from leaves, fallen fruits and dry branches - pathogens and harmful insects can be there.

Planting a seedling

Planting young seedlings "Motley" can be carried out in autumn and spring. If there is a one-year-old sprout with a lignified trunk, then it can be rooted in early April, until the end of May. From the beginning of summer until the end of August, there is an opportunity to root green young stepchildren.

In the fall, you can also root, but in this case it is necessary to carefully prepare the seedling for wintering. For these purposes, the soil around the cutting is wrapped in sawdust, peat or pine needles. It is also necessary so that rodents or other pests do not damage the bark of the sprout in the winter. If the upper layers are damaged, young animals can get sick or even die from sudden temperature changes.

Only healthy young vine is taken for planting. To make sure of the quality of the planting material, a visual examination of the cuttings is carried out:

• When cutting the seedling, the white inner flesh should be visible at the base of the cut. If the stalk has a brown content under the bark, then it should be thrown out or burned. This seedling is diseased and unsuitable for planting.
• If a cutting is taken that was placed on rooting a year ago, then it should have a ripe cut that gives off a bright green tone.
• A healthy cutting can be tested for the quality of the buds. If they do not fall off the stem when touched, this indicates the suitability of the seedling.

Landing rules and features:

1. Before the sprout is planted in open ground, it must go through a certain procedure. The stalk is cut in such a way that only two internodes remain on the body of the vine. Moreover, it is required that the lower node is at a distance of 1-1.5 cm from the end of the cutting, and the upper one is located 2 cm lower from the upper cut.
2. Exactly 24 hours is required to soak the stepson before disembarking in a growth activator. It can be either the chemical Kornevin or a spoonful of honey diluted in water.
3. After soaking, both cuts are treated with garden varnish or paraffin. This is necessary so that by placing them in a cold room for a month, harmful bacteria and uninvited guests in the form of parasites do not settle inside the trunk.
4. The next stage of planting in a container for germinating roots.
5. For planting, they dig a depression in the ground to a depth of 80 cm, the width should be the same size. A mixture of humus and a fertile substrate is placed at the bottom.
6. The next layer is laid out with mineral dressing in the form of potash fertilizer (300 g), wood ash (1 liter), superphosphate (300 g). Next, half of the excavated earth is laid out. The total volume of the pit should be occupied by an average of 50 cm.
7. In this state, the groove is left for 1 month to fully saturate with nutrients.
8. After the set time has passed, the prepared stalk of the "Motley" grape should be planted. Its roots should be straightened and covered with a dense layer of the remaining earth.
9. The soil must be carefully compacted and watered abundantly.

Grape Standard: variety description

One of my favorite varieties. Very large berries (some reach 18-20 grams), clusters are large only on powerful formations - 1.500. The local grower has a Cardinal bush giving up to 200 kg! It occupies a whole gazebo and is very old and powerful, the sleeve of which is dug around to form additional roots. The pulp of the Cardinal is not to be confused with anything - crispy when biting off, fleshy and juicy, with tender nutmeg.Believe me - having a lot of grape varieties on the site, but I always enjoy its taste. After eating different varieties on the site, I come to the house and, having plucked the Cardinal's brush, with pleasure. The berries are covered in such a light smoky prune. It is juicy and dense at the same time, and sweet and not cloying. Probably, it's like bread - it doesn't get bored, it always eats with pleasure, although around a variety of delicious pastries. If the professional winegrowers have a term "classic" - it is about the Cardinal. I think so. It is not resistant to fungal diseases, but I cannot say that I spray it additionally. As well as other varieties. It's just that there are no unstable varieties around him - he also "holds on" and tries not to get sick. Although in the fall, stepchildren on the tops of the vines can pick up mildew or powdery mildew, but the vine by this time is already ripe and is not affected. I cover for the winter just like other varieties - no more. I think so - an attentive grower who has picked up a key to this variety will be glad to have it on his site, and the variety will thank him with beautiful, tasty berries.

In the print media, a certain tradition has developed when introducing readers to hybrid forms of grapes, the main attention is paid to the novelties of selection.

Positive and negative sides

The variety has a lot of advantages, for which many gardeners love it. The main ones look like this:

1. Early ripening period.
2. Pleasant taste. The variety is moderately sweet and sour. In addition, there is an interesting nutmeg flavor.
3. High yield rates. Moreover, the variety begins to bear fruit well the next year after planting. Naturally, on the part of the gardener, excellent conditions for development must be organized for him.
4. Marketable condition. Despite the large seeds inside the fruit, and high competition from young varieties, Cardinal is a frequent and invited guest on the market. It is quickly bought, as its appearance and taste quickly dispose of it.
5. Resistance to mechanical damage. The peel firmly protects the pulp from cracking during transportation. Also, it allows you to store the fruit for a long period of time.

But, among all the honey, there is also a fly in the ointment. It is expressed in the following:

1. The cardinal cannot stand the cold at all.
2. Unstable against many types of diseases. Most often it encounters fungal-type diseases.
3. Ripening of berries is uneven.

But as mentioned above, the variety is mostly used for the production of wine. In this regard, it is one of the best raw materials for winemakers.

Breeding history

The Ayuta variety is a cross between the varieties Rosanna and Cardinal Resistant (Rosanna * K-81). The author of the variety, E.G. Pavlovsky, has been successfully breeding varieties for thirty years.

Korolek, Count of Monte Cristo and Monarch also belong to his hand.

This variety can grow in different parts of Russia... But Ayuta takes root especially well in the Black Earth Region.

Due to its large accumulation of sugar, it can be grown in cooler regions. The climatic conditions of the region do not affect the taste.

Reference. EG Pavlovsky is the author of more than fifty species of hybrid forms. During his career, he mastered all the existing methods of green grafting for growing large bushes and for small grafted seedlings. At the moment, Evgeny Georgievich Pavlovsky is developing new promising forms. Grows more than two thousand varieties on order.

His works are known not only in Russia and the CIS countries, but also abroad.

Testimonials

Timofey.

The wife loves to grow grapes. For 10 years he has been growing various varieties, including Cardinal. By itself, the grapes are large, resistant to many diseases. Never had a problem with him. After planting in the 3rd year, it seems, they were already harvesting. The wife is experienced, so we collected a lot of bunches. The taste is delicious, sweetish. But a lot of bones. Therefore, we make wine out of it.And varieties such as Delight, Codryanka are already consumed for consumption.

Arkady.

Pleasant variety with a delicious nutmeg aftertaste. We often buy in the market. I don't like white and blue varieties. Capricious at this. The cardinal fulfills all my requirements. I recommend it to those who love pink nutmeg.

Breeding work

As I wrote to Rimbaud, this is the result of crossing the Talisman and Velika grape varieties. The seedling was planted with seeds in 2013 at the breeding plot of Viktor Mikhailovich Kalugin. This combination of varieties has formed several promising dark berry forms, including Alvika, Black Crystal, Matador, Messenger and Rimbaud. All of them are being tested, and also show good results with other winegrowers. By the way, Rimbaud, one of the few forms of Kalugin, whose parental couple is known.
