How many kilograms of grapes are normally produced per acre?

When planting grapes , you must pay attention to its yield indicators. This not only concerns the economic benefits of fruit farmers, but also reflects the characteristics of the planted varieties. So, how many kilograms of grapes should be produced per acre to be considered normal? Let’s learn more about it below.

How many kilograms of grapes are normally produced per acre?

The normal yield of grapes per acre is generally around 2,000 to 3,000 kilograms. If managed properly, the yield per mu in some high-yield gardens can reach 3,000 to 4,000 kilograms, or even more than 4,000 kilograms. However, the yield of grapes will be affected by many factors such as variety, planting method, environmental conditions, etc. Therefore, in the process of grape cultivation, these factors affecting yield must also be considered clearly.

How to grow grapes to get high yield?

1. Variety selection

Choose high-quality grape varieties with vigorous growth, strong fruiting ability and strong disease resistance, such as Victoria, Kyoho, American Red Grape, etc.

2. Soil selection

Grapes are suitable for planting in loose, well-ventilated gravelly loam and sandy loam, and grow best when the soil pH is between 6.5 and 7.5. If the soil pH is greater than 8.3 or less than 6.0, soil amendment is necessary.

3. Build the scaffold

Grapes are vine fruit trees that need to rely on supports to support their growth. The pillars must be buried before planting. The material of the support can be cement pillars or wooden supports, and the spacing is generally about 5 meters.

4. Planting at the right time

Grape vines are generally planted in spring and should be transplanted when the underground soil temperature reaches 7-10 degrees. When transplanting, make a bun -shaped mound at the planting point of the seedlings, and stretch the roots of the seedlings on the mound. When the soil fill exceeds the roots, gently lift the seedlings and shake them to leave no gaps around the roots. Then fill the soil to the same level as the ground, tamp it down and water it thoroughly.

5. Fertilizer and water management

The base fertilizer should be mainly organic fertilizer , combined with an appropriate amount of chemical fertilizer. Top dressing should be flexibly adjusted according to the growth stage and tree condition of the grapes to meet the nutritional needs of grapes at different growth stages. In addition, grapes need a lot of water to grow, especially during the dry period from budding to flowering and from fruit setting to fruit coloring, they need to be watered in time. On rainy days, the ditches should be cleaned in time to remove stagnant water.

6. Plastic surgery

Focus on winter pruning and summer pruning. Among them, winter pruning mainly determines the amount of branches retained per unit area and the cutting length of fruiting mother branches, while summer pruning includes pinching, guiding and tying branches and vines, etc.

In general, there is no fixed answer to how many kilograms of grapes can be produced per acre, as it is affected by many factors. But in any case, through scientific cultivation management and reasonable variety selection, the grape yield can basically be increased to a certain extent, bringing greater economic benefits to planting production.
