Results of the test of new generation gel fertilizers on the table grape of the italy variety in the Mountain Valley Crimea

Abstract

The article assesses the effect of gel fertilizers on growth (average shoot length and bush growth in general), grape productivity, quality and transportability. Studies on the effect of new generation mineral gel fertilizers on the table grape of the Italy variety in the Mountain Valley Crimea proved their positive impact on growth, yield and quality of grape plants. There was a significant increase in phytometric indicators in the experimental variant compared to the reference: the average length of one-year shoots - by 17.7 cm (9.9%) and growth of the bush - 153.6 cm³ (7.8%). The yield increase when using new generation fertilizers was 2.2 t/ha (11.2%), mainly due to a significant increase in the average bunch weight. The use of gel fertilizers has improved the transportability of the bunches and grapes.
