Breeding history
It is assumed that the Zarevo grape variety was first bred by Moldova breeders.
Parental pair of grapes: Moldova x Cardinal.
Today, the variety has taken root in the farms of the southern regions of the Russian Federation and Ukraine, since a long warm period is necessary for gathering berries with sufficient sweetness, which is impossible in regions with an early, rainy and cold autumn.
Care features
With timely removal shows good portability and keeping quality.
It differs from other grape varieties:
- on the coefficient of fruiting - 1-1.3;
- in terms of critically low temperature (frost resistance): up to - 220C;
- tendency to cracking with an excess of moisture in the soil;
- mediocre resistance to gray rot, false and true powdery mildew, moderate to anthracnose.
Prone to cracking and Dunav, Gift Zaporozhye and Victoria.
- timely normalize the clusters, which will favorably affect the glucose content in fruits;
- in case of artificial irrigation, one should be especially careful during the ripening period of the berries - they do not tolerate the slightest overflow and crack;
- premature harvest of the crop is reflected in the sweetness of the berries (the taste will be sour).
Favorable climatic conditions for a good harvest:
- no precipitation during the flowering period;
- moderately hot summer;
- dry and warm lingering autumn with most nice days in September and October.
Hadji Murat, Husayne White and Montepulciano also prefer heat.
Diseases and pests
The vine loses immunity to pathogenic fungi if it is darkened by neighboring plants, a building, and is located on a site with reduced air flow.
When signs of mildew develop (oily spots on the leaves and white bloom at the site of the lesion, but on the back side, white "flour" on the hands with flowers or ovaries), apply:
- removal of damaged parts and subsequent incineration;
- treatment with drugs (Kuproksat, Bordeaux mixture, copper chlorine, Antracol).
Prevention and such common grape diseases as oidium, various types of rot, anthracnose, bacteriosis, and chlorosis may be required.
Frequent pest on the vines - grape leafworm. Its caterpillars with the same voracity deal with flower buds, buds, young leaves and ovaries.
It is possible to foresee an attack of a pest when its parents appear - butterflies with a yellowish pair of front wings, decorated with light brown stripes, and rear ones painted in grayish color.
Preventive and radical measures against the caterpillar of this species:
- burning of fallen leaves, fallen bark and cut off layers;
- spraying with Fury's solution, Zolon, Bi-58, Talstar 12 days after the summer of butterflies. The procedure is repeated after the same period of time after the first spraying.
According to some gardeners who are fond of growing grapes, The glow is quite capricious representative of the culture..
Without control over the amount of water absorbed by the vine, all the work of spraying, feeding, pruning the bush can not pay off: just one good rain during the ripening of the clusters, as they will immediately be ready to turn into a sponge.
However, advanced farmers who have built up good drainage systems on the plots, even the weather will not be able to interfere with pleasing themselves and their loved ones with the beautiful Glow.
