Some gardeners believe that grapes love moisture, and the amount of the crop is certainly associated with watering.
This is not entirely true. It is imperative to water young crops, and in general, an adult plant copes with a moisture deficit without any problems.
Therefore, gardeners often make mistakes.
Professionals recommend that watering be sure to be carried out in late autumn in order to increase moisture reserves and provide better conditions for wintering and at the beginning of the growing season.
Watering in the summer involves maintaining optimal humidity (70-75%) of the field norm.
If the grapes grow on easily permeable soil, then you can water in small doses, but more often.
On clay soils, on the contrary, the volume of water is increased, and the number of procedures is reduced.
When You Shouldn't Water Your Grapes
Few restrictions. This is the period of flowering of grapes (flowers may fall off) and during the ripening of berries (the crop will ripen longer, and the berries may crack).
How to water and how much water grapes need
Watering the vineyard is carried out only through a nutrient tube, which is installed when planting a bush.
Only warm settled water is used and in no case tap water.
For one adult fruit-bearing bush, on average, 4 to 6 buckets of water are required.
If you observe an abundance of young shoots and stepchildren, then we are talking about waterlogging the soil.
Weak shoot growth and low yields indicate a lack of moisture.
