Breeding history
Loreno - the fruit of labor of the Ukrainian amateur breeder A.V. Burdaka.
Due to its frost resistance and good resistance to fungi, it is popular not only in the Black Sea region, but also spread throughout the southern and central regions of Russia, even in the Urals and in Siberia.
Frost-resistant varieties are also Arched, Pink Flamingo and Beauty of the North.
Specifications
Loreno is good against mushrooms, worse - wasps. By cold resistance, the maximum "minus" - 23-25 degrees Celsius. She is afraid of spring frosts, in the territories of “real Russian winter” she requires shelter.
Differs fertility, and the fruits are even from dormant buds. Sugar accumulation - 18%. Shoots and stepchildren must be cut, cleaned from the leaves of the area around the bunch for better ventilation.
It needs protection from leafworms, felt mites, bacterial cancer. Rain is not afraid, not capricious to the conditions of the soil. Well susceptible to irrigation and mineral fertilizers.
Diseases and pests
The first enemy of this grape is a bird. In order to protect the berries from them, the vineyard is fenced with a special, inflexible reinforced mesh that would prevent the birds from becoming tangled.
Special bags with small cells help against wasps - berries in them breathe freely, at the same time striped hunters cannot make their way to them.
A felt mite is a very dangerous enemy, it literally devours everything that it sees - these are both leaves, buds, and shoots. Spraying with sulfur-containing drugs is good against him - Karate Zeon, Bi-58, Vertimek, Aktara.
Another grape attack that can attack Lorano - bacterial cancer. Worst of all, there are no effective chemicals against it.
Scientists have created several promising drugs that can stop and even destroy the disease, but they are still at the experimental stage. Therefore, special attention will have to be paid to prevention.
Be sure to inspect the cuttings before you buy for injuries or lesions, and the seedlings try not to hurt.
Well, if part of the vine still sick, one way out - uproot the whole bush. Certainly, it is a pity for him, but if this is not done, the whole vineyard will perish.
As for such common diseases of grapes as mildew and oidium, as well as different types of rot, it does not hurt to take care of prevention. The same can be said about anthracnose, chlorosis, bacteriosis and rubella.
Laurano is attractive because it is good for novice farmers - he does not require any kind of overly complex care.
The measures are the same as for any frost-resistant varieties: shelter for the winter, protect from parasites and bacterial cancer, protect from wasps. Then on the table will not be transferred fresh berries, liqueurs, compotes, and if desired, and good wine.
