Breeding history
"Ruta" was born thanks to the efforts of an amateur breeder V.V. Zagorulko.
Due to its thermophilicity it almost does not “climb” above the southern regions - Ukraine, Crimea, Moldova and Krasnodar Territory.
Specifications
The variety is not very high yield, medium pollination - additional pollination is necessary.
Needs a mandatory shelter for the winter.
Grapes "Ruta" is not very resistant to frost (- 21 degrees Celsius). He also likes warmth like Hadji Murat, the Cardinal or the Bull Eye.
Requires large food area.
Variety suitable for arched formations. The vine ripens on 75% of the total length increment.
"Rut" do not take either rot or powdery mildew, or even rain - the farmers quietly leave this "beauty" to hang until the October anniversary.Berries do not crumble, do not rot and do not crack.
The percentage of sugar content is up to 22 Brix. The acidity level is 7.5 g / l.
The wasps are almost not affected at all, except only if they strongly “sit down” on the bush, and then very little. May be affected by phylloxera. It combines well with stocks.
Diseases and pests
“Ruta” is a real burly, but it also needs protection from enemies.
First of all, it is, of course, birds. But with them just the least hassle - it is enough just to put a net fence (not a rope one - birds get confused and die in it) and forget about the problem. There are many other hunters.
The first of them is a bunching moth or weevil.
This cute gentle butterfly lives on the principle of "do not eat so much nadkusyvayu."
Against her effective insecticide spraying. These are: sumicidin, cymbush, cidial, sevin, fosalon, tokution, ekamet, Bi-58.
Light traps, as practice has shown, do not give the expected effect.
No small danger represents the grape mite, it is a felt itch. Overwintering over bud scales.
Ohoch also literally everything - and inflorescences, and young shoots, and leaves, and ovaries. Spraying with sulfur-containing drugs and acaricides is used against him: Omait, Talstar, Aktellik, Neoron.
Another unpleasant "guest" - phylloxera.
She can live on the roots of grapes, not hitting them.
The most "interesting" that it does not take insecticides. Effective against it only volatile and flammable carbon disulfide, the concentration of 300-400 cubic centimeters per square meter.
It will be destructive and for the bushes, but better so, because if the parasite is only scared away, it will surely return and not stop until the entire vineyard is destroyed. True, farmers say that you can use a less “lethal” dose - 80 “cubes”. Then the bush will survive, and the parasite will go away for a long time.
As for oidium, mildew, bacteriosis, anthracnose and other typical grape diseases, you can find them in a special section of our site.
Grapes "Ruta" - "Die Hard", but it will not please you with an amazing harvest. Yes, and clusters are not particularly boast - mediocre. We'll have to work hard and as a "bee" in pollination. So, to contact you with her or not - decide for yourself.
True, if you decide to leave “Ruth” on the site and take care of it, you will not regret - few varieties have such tender and sweet taste and such a rich drop-down bouquet.
