Breeding history
The variety was born thanks to the works of the national breeder A.A. Goluba, in Ukraine. "Parents" - AIA and Nadezhda Azos. The breeder set himself the task of growing a sort of “workhorse” that would bear fruit consistently and qualitatively, would not be capricious to the conditions of the environment and would not be afraid of either cold, wasps or rot.
It must be said that Golub achieved his result - that is why Nadezhda Rannaya quickly spread throughout the southern and central regions.
Specifications
The variety has a high yield, therefore it is necessary rationing. Pruned six to eight eyes, leaving 35 on the bush. Os is practically not afraid. Frost resistance - 23-24 degrees Celsius.
High resistance to bacteria - powdery mildew (oidium and mildew) and to various types of rot, slightly lower - to phylloxera.
Also resistant to parasites. Needs shelter for the winter. Well perceives additional care in the form of irrigation and regular fertilizing, but not those with a large dose of nitrogen.
Diseases and pests
It was not possible to invent a variety that would be resistant to birds. Therefore it is necessary to enclose the vineyard with a strong mesh canopy.
In no case, no rope network, as it will serve as a snare. You shouldn’t believe those who are praising the special brightly colored balloons and posters - they only seem dreadful, and the birds will quite soon realize this.
Phylloxera. This attack can attack very early. Against it, the vineyard is sprayed with combustible carbon disulfide with a dose of three to four hundred (but not less than 80, with a lower dose of the parasite not to drown out) cubic centimeters per square meter.
It is tough, but necessary, because, generally speaking, the treatment for phylloxera is supposed to be quarantine - the diseased parts are uprooted, and if they only managed to eat the leaves, they are cut off and burned. But in the case of spraying the bush will have a hard time - carbon disulfide is also destructive for it.
The probability that the felt mite will attack, it is a grape pruritus, is small, but still it is better to err. The benefit of this parasite is able to skillfully hide and can not detect it immediately.
He winters safely in the kidneys, which then eats - however, this is not the end of his appetites. So, if you do not notice itching, it threatens the entire vineyard.
With grape pruritus struggling by spraying the bushes with chemicals Omait, Talstar, Neoron, Bi-58.
With regard to common diseases of the grapes, the variety does not hurt prevention against anthracnose, bacteriosis, rubella, chlorosis and bacterial cancer.
Hope Early - a young and very unpretentious variety, with which, in fact, all the duties just a joy. They do not take a lot of time and effort, but they will allow you to hone your skills and gain experience, without which serious viticulture is impossible. On the table, fresh, fragrant brushes will not be translated, and in the cellar - homemade preparations and wine.
