METHOD OF GRAPE BUSH MAINTENANCE Russian patent published in 2024 - IPC A01G17/06 

FIELD: agriculture.

SUBSTANCE: method of a grape bush maintaining includes planting, installing a support, pruning, forming bushes and fruiting zones, attaching the bushes to the support, pruning, freeing them from the support, laying them along the axis of the row, and covering the bushes for the winter. The bushes are formed with two one-way elongated sleeves 2–3 m long, with fruit links in the middle and upper parts of the sleeves and restoration knots in their lower part. During the second growing season, one twig is left on the bush, and it is pruned by 2–3 buds. The bushes are placed on a T-shaped support with a transverse bar; shelving wires are pulled on the vertical part of the support and along the ends of the transverse bar. From the base of the bush to the top wire, a rope is stretched obliquely, to which the growing shoots are attached. After the shoots develop, two shoots are left on the bush. When the shoots reach the top wire, they are pinched. The stepson shoots that developed after this operation are removed from the inside of the main shoot, and from the outside they are left at a distance of 0.2–0.25 m from each other. In the spring of the third year, after opening the bushes, the base of the sleeves is tilted towards the cover, attaching them to the lower wire of the support, and the upper parts of the elongated sleeves with fruit formations are placed along the upper shelving wires of the T-shaped support on both sides of the transverse bar. The vines on the sleeves are cut into 2–3 eyes to form fruit links. In subsequent years, the vines on the fruiting links are pruned by 2–3 buds.

EFFECT: increasing the yield and quality of berries, providing the ability to maneuver the load of plants with shoots and harvest over a wide range.
