When do vines sprout and grow branches and leaves?
In the northern hemisphere, vines begin to sprout at the end of March and the beginning of April every year. At this time, grape farmers must plough and weed for the first time in order to ventilate and absorb rainwater. In addition, the work of eliminating pests and diseases will also begin and last until the end of July, then the grape leaves and vines will grow with it, and later the tidbits will grow on the vines.
Grape flowers are mostly monoecious, and the flowering period is around the beginning of June. These flowers are small and white. At the flowering stage, grape farmers began to bundle the branches and leaves to make the sunshine effect better, and the redundant branches and leaves would be removed to avoid wasting nutrients.
Maintenance and management of grape trees
When planting vines, sandy soil is generally used for planting, because sandy soil has the best drainage. Before planting, decomposed farmyard manure can be added to the soil as base fertilizer to ensure the growth of vines.
Grape is a light-loving plant, so it should not be planted in a hidden place. In the days when it blooms and bears fruit, it is necessary to ensure the light of the plant. If the light is dim, it will not bloom easily and the fruit yield will be affected. Even if it bears fruit, it will be very thin.
If the weather is hot, you can water the vines and soak the soil thoroughly. If it happens to rain, there will definitely be water in the soil. At this time, you should pay attention to draining the soil. Rainstorms and solar terms, hot and humid climate, are also the time when vines are most prone to pests and diseases. If you are not careful, you should trim the diseased branches and spray the plants at once.
