Selection
Flamingo grapes are cultivated by Moldovan breeders in an NGO. Vierul It is a hybrid of the Nimrang and Datier de Saint-Valle varieties. Muscat Summer, Liana and Kishmish Radiant are derived in the same scientific center.
Landing
The variety of flamingos is young, it began to settle in the vineyards recently, but the interest in it is great. It is necessary to be afraid of substitution, and not to buy seedlings from random sellers who do not inspire confidence.
You can plant grapes in autumn - in October, and in spring - in April.
It is good if your seedlings are grown in containers, rooting will occur more painlessly, since the root system is practically not affected. In the same case if seedlings have open roots, carefully inspect them.
Remove damaged and treat with Cornevitis or Heteroauxin according to the instructions for the preparations. If everything is fine with the root system, no processing is necessary.
By choosing a place for grapes should be approached with the utmost seriousness. Grapes and harvest should please, and decorate the site.
In order for the grapes to give a rich harvest of good quality, they should be planted from the south or south-west side of the plot, wall, fencing. He does not like cold, damp winds and shade. It is undesirable to lay groundwater closer than half a meter.
Fertile light soils are ideal for vineyards, but their absence is compensated by fertilization and a set of agrotechnical techniques combined with the care of seedlings.
Organic fertilizers are applied directly under the plant when planted in the planting pit, mineral fertilizers can be mixed with the soil when planted, but they are effective only in the dissolved form.
Do not forget to water the sapling plentifully and sprinkle with dry soil or grind the soil around the sapling. This will prevent cracking of the ground and drying of the wheel circle.
Further watering is done as needed.

- The shoots reached a length of 10-15 cm. From mildew, anthracnose, spider mite, Tiovit Jet (100 gr.) And Abig Pik (40 ml.) Per 10 l are used. water.
- Treatment with the same composition 3 weeks after the first.
- Immediately before flowering, we use Cabrio Top (30 g.) And Aktar (4 g.) For 10 liters of water.
- Not later than 12 days, after the third. Convertible Top or Kvadris without insecticides.
- In 12 days. Protection of the ovary. Rodomil Gold (30 gr.), Topaz (20 gr.), Aktara (4 gr.) On 10 l. water.
- After 2 weeks, the last treatment with Topaz is possible.

They love to eat grapes birds. The most effective way to protect bags remain. Since the wasps are harder, they gnaw through the bags.
Winegrowers who are saved as they can: in the spring they poison the wasp larva with poisoned minced meat, water the wasp with poisoned compotes and even beer (they love it very much), spray the grapes with mustard 200 gr. on 10 l. water. In the mornings and in the evenings, the electric washer is jammed.
