Breeding history
“Parents” Tasona - Italy and Zorevoy. It was obtained by experts VNIIVIV them. Potapenko. Or rather, it is one of Natalya Pusenko’s favorite varieties, along with Muscat Summer and Present Irina.
Of course, like any grape, he loves the south, feels best in Ukraine, in the Rostov region, the Crimea, but he “climbed” even into the central strip. Moreover, he feels rather well even in the Moscow region (with proper care).
Specifications
The variety Tason is nothing more than Vitis vinifera (cultivated grapes, lat.) Of pure water, which means it is subject to attacks by bacteria. More precisely, it should have been, because due to the super-early maturation of Tason, fungal attacks simply do not have time to catch up with him.
Differs in high productivity, it is required rationing with eyes, removal of excess shoots. Pruning is done on six to eight eyes, leaving up to 35-40 per bush.
Rationing is also needed for varieties like Supaga, Charlie and Miner.
Good resistance to frost - 22-24 degrees Celsius. For the winter requires shelter.
The ripening of the vine is good, the rooting of cuttings too. Best of all "friends" with stocks of resistant varieties. The percentage of sugar content Tasona - 19-22 Brix. The acidity level is about 6 g / l.
The tasting score (fresh) is also high - 8.2. Not afraid of rain, but if summer is overcast, pink “tan” of Thason can appear weakly and in some places. Wasp is not resistant.
Diseases and pests
Do not think that no one will ask the farmer to share such a treasure as Tason. In the first place, of course, the birds will appear - jays, magpies, sparrows.
But there will be no problems with them, the question will be decided by the grid - only not a rope, but a hard one with small cells. Covering the grapes with such a "shell", you can forget about the attacks of feathered invaders.
The wasps will also welcome. It all depends on how much you are willing to tolerate them at all on your plot - after all, wasps also bring significant benefits, destroying, for example, aphids.
Therefore, it is enough to pack the clusters in small mesh-mesh sacs - and they will be blown with fresh air, and the aggressors will not reach. Well, let the Oskians switch to other classes.
Those farmers who consider os to be superfluous can use sticky insecticidal traps. You also need to search the entire area for nests and families "bitty-striped" - found immediately destroyed. It is necessary not to be lazy and to seal up the holes in the pillars on which the bushes are attached - they simply adore making wasps' nests.
Another enemy of Tasona is powdery mildew, both oidium and mildew. If it is “not noticed,” then you can easily overlook how the entire vineyard disappeared. Therefore, bushes need to be sprayed with preparations containing copper - Kuporos, Karbofos, Kaptan, Tsineb, Thiram, Zinos, Mancozeb, Folpet.
May welcome and phylloxera. Against it, flammable carbon disulfide is effective in a concentration of 300-400 cubic centimeters per square meter.
It can be a little less, but in any case, the figure should not fall below 80 “cubes” - according to farmers, this is the lower limit, at which the bush will survive, and the phylloxera will not be felt for a long time.
Do not forget about such common grape diseases as anthracnose, bacterial cancer, chlorosis, rubella and bacteriosis. In time taken preventive measures will save the plants.
Care for Thason, as we see, is required not so complicated. Standard spraying against parasites or fungus - yes, every grower is obliged to carry out such.
Well, for the winter to cover - not at all difficult. But all the spent efforts will pay off many times - just look at these pouring, fragrant brushes or try the berry ...
