Grapes Krasa Nikopol - a table variety of berries that are super early. In other words, the period for which the berry ripens is only 105 days, which means that in July it will be possible to harvest a rich harvest.
Grapes Kras Kras Nikopol: description
The description of the berry should begin with the fact that it has an unusual shape for grapes. Krasa Nikopol has oval fruits, and their weight is only 4-5 grams. In addition, it is important to note that this grape variety has a high sugar content. However, even if the fruits are harvested already in the late period, bruising still will not occur, which distinguishes it from other varieties. If we talk about clusters of this plant, then they have the shape of a cone, and their average weight is about 500 grams. Grape Kras Nikopol is distinguished by the fact that its density is not too high, and in some cases the fruits even seem loose. But at the same time, the presentation of the product remains high.
If we talk about the bush itself, then the vine can produce both high shoots and medium shoots. On these processes many inflorescences are laid during ripening, but experienced farmers say that it is better to leave only the bottom. The bush is also different in that 70% of its shoots are fruiting.
Grape variety Krasa Nikopol: history
The history of breeding this grape variety is also interesting. The beauty of Nikopol is a berry that is the result of combining a pair of other types of grapes. The person who created this berry was called Sidun Alexei Stepanovich. His place of residence was the city of the same name, because of which the variety was called Krasa Nikopol. In order to get this type of grape, the breeder crossed the other two. These varieties include Pearl Saba and Rish Baba. The beauty of Nikopol was bred back in the 50s of the last century. You can also add that in addition to this variety, the breeder has bred several others. There was an interesting rumor about this breeder. After he gave an interview on Dnepropetrovsk television, about thirty bushes of this grape were stolen from him.
Grape characteristics
An important characteristic that this variety possesses is reliability. Despite the fact that Kras Kras Nikopol grapes are considered simple in terms of their taste among gourmets, its distribution is still very large. This is due to the fact that this bush bears fruit even in those years when all other species do not produce crops at all. Like other varieties, it needs some kind of shelter, although it is considered a rather frost-resistant species. The temperature that the plant can tolerate in winter is -22 ° C. In addition, the bush will not die even in the case of a small amount of snow or in its absence. It is very important that at such low temperatures even the eyes of the bush do not die, and after that they still yield a crop. Despite the fact that Kras Kras Nikopol grapes are characterized by fruits with a very thin skin, they do not burst in rainy seasons. In addition, the variety is very early, but it is quite capable of remaining on the vine until the collection of other, later species begins.
Enemies of grapes
Like any other plant, this berry has natural enemies - these are pests and diseases. Grapes poorly resists diseases such as mildew, gray rot and oidium. If we consider the resistance of the plant to these species on a 10-point scale, then it is in the region of 3.5 points. Strangely enough, sparrows are referred to as pests. The thing is that the bees do not pay much time to this bush because of its early maturity, but small birds will happily peck the whole crop if they are not driven away. In order to get rid of problems with diseases, experienced gardeners recommend treating the bush with fungicides 2 or 3 times. By the way, it is worth saying that such an ailment as powdery mildew rarely affects this particular grape variety, since it has immunity to it.
