Description and characteristics, advantages and disadvantages of Blestyashchy grapes, cultivation

Taste qualities, a large number of substances beneficial to human health, the source of which are grapes, are only one of the reasons for people’s desire to grow the southern crop in a climate different from its usual place of growth, determined by nature. Shiny grape bushes are a hybrid bred for cultivation in central Russia and the northern regions.


Description of the grape variety Blestyashchiy

The variety has a very early ripening period, the growing season lasts about 95 days. The weight of each bunch does not exceed 1 kg. In terms of resistance to some grape diseases, Blestyashchiy is inferior to the parent variety Victoria. Easily tolerates frosts down to -23 °C without shelter. It is even planted in Siberia as a cover crop.

Breeding history

The Brilliant grape is the result of crossing the Original White and Victoria. The selection was carried out by scientists from the Novocherkessk Research Institute in 2005. Blestyaschiy is included in the register as recommended for cultivation in Ukraine, the Krasnodar Territory, and Moldova.

Despite the recommendations of scientists, according to reviews from winegrowers, the Blestyashchiy grape variety grows well in temperate climates and in northern conditions.

Description of the bush

The seedlings gain strength quickly; up to 48% of the shoots in the bush are fruitful every season. It is necessary to normalize the yield by trimming each shoot to 6 buds in the fall, and removing excess clusters in the spring.

The high attractiveness of the plant and clusters while they are on the vine is used in landscape design. Here, the minus of heterogeneity in the color of the berries, which spoils the presentation of the grapes, is considered a plus.

  • adaptability to different climatic conditions and soils;
  • early ripening;
  • stability of yields;
  • frost resistance;
  • disease resistance;
  • transportability;

Flaws

Disadvantages include:

  1. Uneven coloring of berries - there are green, yellow, pink shades that do not indicate ripeness.
  2. Drip irrigation is recommended for the hybrid variety, but it leads to premature wilting of the leaves.
  3. Wasps are very fond of sweet, thin-skinned berries.

In addition to coloring, all defects can be eliminated through proper care - applying Blue Bordeaux and Coside to the grape bushes, methodically removing wasp nests from the vineyard, and preventing their appearance.

Characteristic

The Blestyashchiy grape variety is extremely unpretentious and does not require care. The only condition that must be remembered is that fertile soil must be mixed in a 1 to 1 ratio with sand.

High yield

Proper soil preparation, drainage and application of specialized fertilizers that prevent leaves from withering, rationing are the key to the usefulness of the harvest. The taste of which is not affected by drought or cool weather conditions.

Early maturation

The earliest fruiting of the variety in open ground corresponds to the ripening of berries in Ukraine and in the southern regions of the Russian Federation in the last ten days of July. In the temperate continental climate zone, the Blestyashchiy grape variety can be picked as early as August 1, which is only a week later than in the south of the country.

Tolerates frosts well

— 23 °C is the lower threshold that the Brilliant vine will tolerate without damage. In regions where in winter the air temperature drops below the critical level for grapes, the plant will be protected by covering it with plastic film or agrofibre. In the northern regions, more serious measures will be required in the form of wooden fencing and the formation of snowdrifts.

With the covered growing method, the variety has 48.6% fruit-bearing shoots with 62% of buds opening.

Disease resistance

The variety has above average resistance to mildew moidium fungal infections. Resistance to gray rot in warm regions is increased, and in areas with high humidity, this disease can affect the plant if groundwater is close to the groundwater and there is insufficient soil drainage.

characteristics of the cut

Brilliant requires preventive treatment for diseases:

  • anthracnose;
  • chlorosis;
  • bacteriosis;
  • rubella;
  • bacterial cancer.

Insecticidal and fungicidal spraying will protect the vineyard from most ailments.

Taste qualities of berries

The tender thin skin hides the juicy pulp. The taste has pronounced nutmeg notes, favorably highlighting the sweet-sour balanced taste. Brilliant grape juice contains 18% sugars and 6.7 g/l acids.

Disembarkation

Brilliant can be planted in October and April. Planting holes are prepared in the fall, a week before pre-winter planting and six months before spring planting. Dense soils must be made more permeable to water by mixing with sand. Neutralize acidity with ash. An insufficiently fertile layer must be enriched with compost, humus, and manure. This grape variety does not like mineral fertilizing.

Growing and care

A lot depends on proper care. A garter on a trellis will help to expose the berries to the sun; this is the choice for planting on the south side of the site. In this case, it is necessary to protect the heat-loving plant from contact with cold winds. When staking shoots, it is recommended to place the vine horizontally.

Trimming

The strength of the shoots contributes to endurance, so that heavy clusters do not break the vine, it is necessary to trim the shoots to the 6th eye, so the bush will not spend life-giving juices on unpromising thin shoots during wintering and the vegetative period. Pruning is carried out both during the ripening of the crop and during planned pruning.

Irrigation arrangement

Drip irrigation is a necessity when caring for the Blestyashchiy grape variety; it does not tolerate irrigation spraying; water falling on the leaves causes burns and wilting. Pipes with holes for drip distribution of moisture are laid on the ground. The size and shape of the holes are chosen so that they do not become clogged with soil and foliar fertilizers beneficial to the plant.

Top dressing

Root feeding of the Blestyaschiy grape variety is excluded; it benefits only from foliar application of nutrients. Growth stimulants are also contraindicated for this hybrid; the plant easily takes root and grows intensively without their help.

Protection from diseases and pests

Treating the vine with fungicides before flowering in the spring and before covering the plant for the winter will protect the plant from most diseases. The beginning of disease prevention begins with the selection of a planting site - grapes of this variety must be planted at the maximum possible distance from drupe fruit trees and gooseberries.

To protect against wasps that spoil the crop, it is recommended to hide the vineyard behind a mosquito net.

insect protection

Preparing bushes for winter

Every autumn, the vine must be removed from the trellis and covered with plastic greenhouse film or agrofibre. In cold areas, a 10 cm mound of earth can be made on top of the film.

Harvest and storage

At low positive temperatures and stable room humidity, Brilliant is stored for a long time. If the grapes are intended for storage, then they need to be picked at the stage of technical maturity; for preparing desserts, more ripe berries are needed - they contain more sugars.

Due to its not the most attractive appearance, it rarely goes on sale; it will be bought only by those who are familiar with the characteristics of the variety and its high taste. For long-term storage, jellies, confitures, preserves, marshmallows and other sweets are prepared from this grape variety.
