Breeding history
The grape variety Nadezhda Aksayskaya was born as a result of the work of an amateur breeder V. U. Kapelyushny in Ukraine. The variety was tested for ten years, after which it quickly spread throughout all the southern and central regions of Russia, even at Siberian and Ural latitudes.
The hand of the same breeder belongs to the Crimson, Parisian and Graf Monte Cristo.
Specifications
Morozov Aksayskaya is not afraid - its limit is 23-25 degrees Celsius. But where the temperature drops below -16, bushes are still required to cover for the winter months. True, the fungus is still afraid, requires preventive spraying.
Super Extra, Beauty of the North and Pink Flamingo are very frost resistant.
The variety is very prolific, prone to overload.
Because it is necessary rationing inflorescences and shoots. Pruning is done on two to four peepholes, leaving a maximum of 35 per bush. The percentage of sugar content - 16-18 Brix. Resistant to parasites, wasps are moderately affected. Phylloxera also resists not very well.
Diseases and pests
Nadezhda Aksayskaya necessarily needs preventive spraying against powdery growths. - mildew and oidium, also gray rot.
They are very dangerous for grapes - all parts of the bush suffer, berries become useless - of which neither compote, nor wine can be made, and even less - to eat them. Sick shoots and leaves are separated, otherwise your product will acquire a distinct moldy taste.
Powdery mildews are sprayed with chemicals such as Bayleton, Rubigan, Caratan, Bi-58, Topaz, Strobe, Quadris.
Another enemy of the vineyards is gray rot. Against it, Omite, Rovral, Bordeaux, Ridomil-Gold are used.
Phylloxera can also welcome. And then you have to sweat: the parasite is quite difficult to withdraw. Against it, only spraying fuel with carbon disulfide is effective - 300-400 cubic centimeters per square meter. You can slightly reduce the dose, but at least 80 "cubes" - otherwise, all your efforts will be wasted, the parasite will certainly return. True, this tool can equally kill the bush itself, but a bush is better than the entire vineyard.
Avoid preventive measures against common diseases such as anthracnose, chlorosis, bacteriosis, rubella and bacterial cancer.
The fight against wasps looks quite simple against this background - it is enough to just pack the bunches into mesh bags and destroy all the nests found. With birds and even easier - put a rigid grid and you can forget about the problem.
Just do not put a rope, if you do not want to have a regular “harvest” in the form of dead, beating and screaming birds. You just do not let them to the vineyard, and not kill.
Nadezhda Aksayskaya endures Russian winters remarkably, resists disease and gives the owner a bountiful wonderful harvest.
You just need to help her in this a little - to observe quite simple measures to prevent fungi, which are included in the arsenal of any gardener.
