Diseases and pests
There is no grape that is not afraid of birds; the wasps, unfortunately, for the Gordey also pose a grave danger.
From forty, sparrows and tits berries easy to protect - you need to install a hardened mesh with small cells, which would block the birds access to the berry, not allowing to get lost in the network.
With wasps a little harder. Often, they even ignore poisonous baits, which are carefully placed by the farmer, especially if they have a strong chemical odor.
Do not think that they say, wasps are damaged only by cracked berries or spoiled by birds. No, striped predators can spoil the whole fruits, and in general - why should I share them?
therefore need to destroy all wasp nests on the plot. The trellis, on which the vines will be located, must also be neutralized - to seal all the holes, because the wasps simply adore them.
The most reliable and at the same time humane remedy for striped invaders will be special mesh bagsin which they pack bunches.
Bacterial cancer - a very serious and dangerous disease, ignoring that, you can pay the whole vineyard. Unfortunately, at the moment there are no funds that effectively oppose this scourge.
A bush with bacterial cancer uproot.
It is known that cracks and wounds - a favorable place for the development of a future tumortherefore, it is necessary to choose the intact seedlings of the “Gordey” grapes and try not to hurt planted bushes once again.
Gardeners who stopped at the “Pride” made the right choice - this grape is not afraid of either cold or fungi, and even a beginner can take care of it.
Should only be careful and protect bushes from wasps and birds. The grapes do not differ in some complex and original taste, on the contrary, it is quite simple, but not primitive, and winemakers will also appreciate it.
